engine hours counter

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi allthis topic relates to the previous from andrew:
the 312 does not have a  fuel gage
but rather than installing one I got used over the years to keep track of
fuel consumption by noting the engine hours when taking fuel.
Unfortunately the engine hour counter has stopped.
Has anybody out there had the same problem and is this difficult to put right?
Thank you in advance for response and advice!
Wieland

	Hi Here is how I got it working again. The volvo might also use a hour counter from VDO https://myhanse.com/yanmar-lcd-display-replacement_topic12886.html Edited by H8jer - 05 May 2024 at 10:59

Bought one on aliexpress But linked it very easy on the red light on the panel As soon as the lights on, the counter starts to count Type engine hours counter in ali. Same as line 9€ Installed both inside close to the engine Both work perfectly since 5 years Now my RPM counter is dead, will certainly do the same
