Pick-up the rev sensor from anyone of the coils, then you're measuring only 4 cylinders and your rev counter should work. Don't go pay R600, it's a minor wiring job.

Good luck :bye:

Just like Koos said did it about a month back took out the cluster nothing difficult at the back you will see a black and yellow wire can’t remember witch one (only one wire) this goes to the coil I used the small one not the coil at the water bridge there is only 1 wire follow to harness and join neatly. Back to the cluster and start motor see witch one reg on the counter. I’ll take a photo if need be let me know. Makes a big difference to see the refs just so much cooler.

Koos ek het al so gesukkel met overheating probleme maar ja BMW Radiator
2 x electric fans. Nog nie gesleep met hom nie. Probleem met verkoeling is dat hy net warm word "under load" gas toets gedoen en head gasket het gegaan so wag nou vir fondse om import motor te gaan koop en in te sit behoorlik...
