OK, I'm pretty sure what the green and red bands on the VDO tachometer are for: Keep the revs up in the green - but don't go into the red.
But, can anyone enlighten me as to the purpose of the narrow green band (30-40 mph) on the VDO speedometer?
Also, I've seen quite a few different red bands on the VDO tachos
eg.45-50 rpm 50-55 rpm 55-60 rpm
I assume this because of the different engines that were used in the 356's ?
Which brings me to my next question: What is the recommended
maximum revs on a stock 1600 Beetle engine?
Thanks,
Mitch.
