Rev-counter rattle!

Post by PH-VAP »

Title sounds like a funky dance, I know :lol:

Anyway, does anyone recognise this issue with the rev-counter:
When taking your foot of the throttle and being around 2000-3000 rev/min, it produces a rattling/grinding noise.
It is not a very large issue, but it is starting to annoy me nontheless ;)
Is it wear and tear in the rev-counter? Is it fixable?

Thank (again!)

hey bud after looking through other posts on here ive managed to not quite fix my dash rattle but at the very least minimise it. A lot of other guys said that it was where the air intake is mounted onto the wing, it seems to have sorted it quite well. There is a rubber bung on a bolt which the air pipe pops onto. It is eassier to see if you pop out the indicator unit. If you just play around with this and try to tighten it up it has definitely sorted out my problem.
