TARUL · 15th February 2008, 20:39

Hey guys I looked at other threads on problems faced with tacho meters but didn't find the info I was looking for.Anyway the pic above is my autogauge & I picked up from a friend for a good price,but the problem now is that I have fixed my tacho,but my tacho is not synced with the cars original tacho & I want the other digital meters aswell as the tacho to work.Who can do this for me in Bangalore.

hi man
nice tacho...
i have installed a simpler tachp on my esteem. you just have to connect your tacho main wire to the coil of your car.
This should do the job. dont have any idea abt the digital ones mine is fully analog...

Vicky he wants to calibrate it to his original tacho.. his tacho wirings in place it seems..we have the same one..in fact there are four of us facing the same problem with this particular meter. for the other gauges to work..use the wiring diagram that came with the box.

TARUL · 19th February 2008, 22:20

Well since all of you are facing the same problem,has anyone found a solution?If so please let me know.

nitroxx · 19th February 2008, 23:27

Tarul these gauges had a standard issue..no ones got a solution..so we decided that we go for a more accurate gauge..I'm sorry atleast thats what all here are doing.

Then looks like I have to find a buyer & do you have any details on the gtech or what are the other alternatives.

i think the tacho is meant to be run on ecu signal,thats why its giving different readings as the company ones are connected to the alternator

The tacho meter is giving the right readings but the problem is it has a big lag.

Absar · 26th February 2008, 21:02

Hey Tarul, if the information is correct that the tacho is running on ECU signal, then there will be a lag, being more when accelerating hard than when accelerating normally.

Telling you this because my trip computer which runs through OBD, gets its signal from the ECU, and the digital tacho in the trip computer also has a lot of lag in comparison to the OE tacho.

Btw, that's a really nice tacho you've got there!

hi tarul do not try connecting it to your ecu can cause problems

i think i know a guy who can fix it for you call me tommrrow will let you know

nc1bad · 27th February 2008, 13:02

yeah if theres some electrical problem you may end up burning the ecu chip,,i know one guy in maruti service center here in panjim was fitting a security system to a baleno, he did something wrong and the entire car short -circuited blowing the ecu

..so take care while installing.

So what is the solution?should it be connected to the alternator?

nitroxx · 27th February 2008, 21:27

Tarul take Alias for his word, try out what he says and if it works inform us boys in Mumbai, so we can have the problems corrected.
