He only worked three weeks.

Stop in three weeks. The Revain was good at sending out a replacement quickly, but it was still a hassle because it's wired through the car's firewall and the wires are hardwired to the tach at the factory, meaning there's no quick-disconnect wiring harness. The small size makes it a bit difficult to read, but a larger one would block my other sensors.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for seniors

Works great and accurate

I was replacing my distributor in my Firebird so I also wanted to get an aftermarket tach for accuracy. First I bought a cheap digital touch but it was slow and inaccurate. This tachometer fits perfectly and works perfectly. The only thing I would like is a flat mount because it is only configured to mount on the steering column and is really visible.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Bull**it pressure gauge I will never buy again Bosch

Large size, easy to use and good features except. It doesn't work at all and I've checked my wiring 3 times and made sure everything is connected properly, even tried getting a new coil and still no signal. It lights up and everything, but it showed 0 rpm all the time, so I'm very disappointed. The worst thing is that I'm abroad and had to get DHL to send it to me so I paid twice the price of the sensor to get it here and it doesn't work. Very disappointed to be honest.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

need touch. - Sensors

21 year old, 4 cylinder, 5 speed manual pickup and no touch. The price for this small Bosch tachometer was right. I wouldn't call the installation "easy" - I spent about an hour trying to figure out where to install it without ruining my truck's 20 year old plastic. Then it takes some time to lay the wire so that it does not interfere. Black wire = battery negative ground. Red wire = 12 VDC power. White wire = lighting (could be brighter). Green wire = signal, in my case, from the truck's ECM…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Interchange Availability

Excellent touch. Clear and easy to connect.

Great tactile feel. Easy to install - only 4 wires to connect. Installation was easy and the unit comes with everything you need. I put it on the right side of the dash hood. The touchscreen is clearly visible and does not interfere. Only criticism is that the tachometer doesn't glow very brightly at night. I solved this problem by replacing the standard bulb with a green LED. Now it's the same green color as my speedometer and fuel gauge and I can read it at night. I used this LED: Partsam 10x

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Security

Great value for money

I installed this on my VW Camper Van and it was a great fitment. The face is small enough to fit between the A-pillar and the dashboard. It was well connected and very understandable. Remember to thread the nut onto the harness FIRST before making any connections. *DOH* I had to do it twice because of this slight lag, but it was ok. I like that it's on "0" when the engine is off. My other touch doesn't, so it's refreshing. The device makes a useful and well-made impression. The backlight is…

  • Very good value for money

Decent modest tachometer

Bought because I have an old car that doesn't have a tachometer and when towing a service trailer I wanted to get better feedback on engine performance. Pros: It was easy to hook up (+12v, ground, +dial indicator, +beep) and had about 3 feet of wire attached to it. Plenty of mounting hardware and cable splice fixings are included, although I ended up having to supply my own splices. The size is small compared to many racing inspired speedometers. The instructions were clear and well written…

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • Don't really like it, everything is fine

Great value for money

I bought a 1989 Yugo (that statement probably betrays my sanity or rating but bear with me) that I get my hands on from time to time. However, now that I have a tachometer, it's a bit difficult to drive the car and see if the engine is running exactly how I want it to. This sensor meets all requirements exactly. With a simple design, everything looks OEM, the sensor is very sensitive, it's accurate (tested on an ignition analyzer and both gauges showed the same readings), the instructions were…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Nice general purpose tachometer

Nice general purpose tachometer. This review might get a little long as I also provide quick practical tips for my truck. I installed this on my 1990 Chevy C1500 truck. It has a 350 V8 and a manual gearbox, but no tachometer. How can I enjoy driving a truck with a V8 engine and a shifter without a tachometer? I didn't need a big racer tach and this 2-5/8" tach from Bosch is just right for a rack mount. This Bosch tachometer comes with the connectors that will most likely be needed for the…
