REV COUNTER issue for 1.8t
i use mk4 golf ECU for 1.8t setup after canceled immo. i want to use mk1 golf clocks. i connect oil lamp, charge lamp, water temp without any problem, but i can't connect mk1 rev counter. i have found RPM signal cable in Mk4 ecu which is green but it doesn't work when i connect it to mk1 clocks. :dontknow:
any idea?
thanks…

need a signal converter, the 1.8t signal is not compatible with the clocks. MK1 has same signal as MK2 if that helps you track down a converter
Thanks Jonny,
where can i find this converter? or is there any other solution?

Connect a 1n4004 to the trigger wire from the ecu of each coil.

the reason it wont work on the oem ecu is the signals used to trigger the coils are different

I'm going to make my own hopefully so just need clarifying a few things.
a) Diode is used to convert the AC Signal into DC
b) Transformer/Transmitter is used to Change the Output Voltage to accomodate the Mk1 Clocks Rev Counter
Ok Quesiton time
![:lol:](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/lol.gif)
1) Anyone know what voltage/frequency the orginal clocks operated at or its repsective values? Im assuming the MK4 Output from the ECU is 5v and we are requiring 12v?
2) Are Resistors needed, as its been said they are for the MS application (Running Wires inline with resisitors to the Diode from the -ve on the coilpack) I am using OEM
FYI - Qpeng only sell the Converters as part of their loom kit… Have Contacted Jabbasport three times and had no such luck sourcing one.
There is a company in america that wants $150, surely the parts are like 10?
Many thanks
Gary

Anybody actually know what the signal is from the ECU, some speculation that it's a negative signal, which seems very odd - anyone know it's frequency relative to engine speed?

you can get adaptors from several places so it would have to be cheap for it to be worth your trouble!
