e36 rev over counting

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have an 325 E36 BMW, which overcounts revs - otherwise the dash works fine.
I have been advised this may be due to the dash thinking i've got 4 cyl instead of 6. Does anyone know a good contact for this type of repair - obviously a main dealer is going to prove expensive. 
cheers

	Try www.fabdirect.com for a complete unit - probably the cheapest option. HTH

	it idles high - over 1000 RPM. By the time i'm doing 70mph its 7000ish (in 5th) if i do the dashboard check test it all works fine - moves up to the red lines then back again. Hence why i think its is working, and just has the wrong settings. cheers guys Edited by chrisgreener
