Rev counter issues

expreaper · 01-31-2012, 11:58 AM

Hello all..

I just pick up a 206 V reg and when i was driving it the rev counter works but when it is idle it will not go back to 500ish revs it stays at 5K, When i drive the car also tho the rev counter will go off the clock and when i change gear it will go back to 5K revs...

The car is now off and it is sitting at 5K RPM...

What could be the problem with the rev counter? and also what will it cost to fix?

Just a quick update with the rev counter... I have managed to locate the fuse plug and i pulled it out and it reset my rev counter... I have not started the car and drove it yet but with this extra info what would you people think it might be..

Thank again :-)

So i tried buying a new instrument cluster and the rev counter works fine now but for some reason its looking like it goes out between 500/1000rpm every so often..

Anybody give some advice?

sorry but what do you mean goes out?

it just sounds to me as though the needle has somehow set to start at 5000 instead of 500, hope someone hasn't been messing around with the cluster before you bought the car, messing with the mileage.

New dash clocks needed. Ive changed loads of them for this problem.

i hope peugeot are cheaper at clusters than ford....just recently cost me around £750 to replace mine!

I got a replacement at a scrap yard and they work but every so often i will lose power and whatever revs i was doing it resets to that point..

It's wierd lol.

Check the earth on the gearbox.

Are 206 rev counters suspect mine has stopped working it was ok then I had my clutch replaced and now nothing everything else works on the cluster and I've checked the earth leads. I can't find any info about where the rev counter gets it's information to work so I don't know if there is a faulty connector somewhere
