I've been looking at the wireing diagrams for my 1990 D 405. I'm trying to find out why the rev counter does not work, I recently found it to be electrical. There appear to be 2 wires (according to the diagram) that go from the instrument cluster to something called a TDC sensor (top dead center?) The 2 wired connect to points on the instrument cluster labelled "tachometer". Q1, is one for the road speed and one for engine rpm? Q2, where, physically, will I find this TDC sensor? Q3, am I on the right track with this? -- Regards.

A stab in the dark, but if it does really mean Top Dead Center sensor, then it surely would be on the flywheel housing? Cheers, Matt -- 1991 Peugeot 205 Roland Garros Cabriolet TU3S 1.4 Carb http://www.205rolandgarros.co.uk 2003 - Happy 20th Birthday Peugeot 205 ==
It is best accessed from underneath, it screws into the flywheel housing with one small bolt, this bolt needs to be loosened its a sort of plastic clamp that needs to be prised open with a screwdriver and the sensor can then be pulled out of the clamp, the sensor is looking at the engine side of the flywheel. There should be a cable attached to the sensor it has three wires in it one of which is an earth connection, this cable should go to a brown socket near the thermostat, a brown plug goes from this socket to the tach. I think this brown socket is there so that some diagnostic device can be plugged in and used for determining TDC for setting the pump timing. John
