Mercedes 190E - Rev Counter - Mr Fox
Hello,

Some of you may recall I bought an old Mercedes 190 E for my daughter, I have done a little bit of work on it, some new exhaust parts, new front springs ( a common problem I am told ) and now the car is tip top, However the Rev counter won't work.

There is what appears to be a sender connection under the bonnet which is not connected up, it is on the same part of the wiring loom as the Temperature sensor which is conected to part of the thermostat housing, however I can't find the sender on the engine, distributor or Coil into which it should plug.

Does anyone know where this wire belongs ?

Other than this minor problem the car is fantastic, very solid, taut and reasonably quick if required.

Cheers

Marc
