I have a rev counter on my 1600 T1 but am paranoid that it is reporting too low a number of revs. The engine is getting pretty noisy by the time I get to 3,000 rpm which is as high as I ever dare push it. Today on a run, I was registering 2500 rpm at 70mph. Is there any reason why a working rev counter would give a false reading, or should I just boot my bus harder and trust.
is it one of those for a 4/6/8 cylinder engine that's switcheable? Could it be on the wrong setting by chance & giving a low reading.. whats the idle rev reading from it?
4 gears and only doing 2500rpm at 70 mph. I'd be surprised if thats correct. I'm sure there will be someone along in a minute to let us know.
Cheers Matty. Yes, that would be good. In the meantime I will continue to exercise prudence. Could we firm up on 15th April?
I have 175s on the front, so speedo probably reads 70 for 55 but with the window down and the breeze thru my hair, who cares
2500 rpm at 55 is probably more like it! Compare your speedo to a SatNav and see how far out you really are.
Sorted by Matty - it was set for a 6 cyl so was reading under. Just needs some front seats so I can go for a drive and see what revs I have really been doing
