Anyone know if the VDO tach that came in NAS 90's will work with an alternator signal from a Tdi ?

Have one lying about and woud love to have a tach.

Yes, they work great. Use the same tach in all our Tdi installs.

Signal wire on the tach goes to the W post on the Tdi alt.
Same thing as in a V8 EFI.

Hmmm, this is timely as I'm re-doing all my gauges. Anybody got an extra Tach? I need one for my Tdi.
