With a bit of work you can install a 1986 GTI tach in a 84 Vanagon as it would be with an 84 Vanagon tach in an 88 - there are some differences between the 84 Van and 88 that make it a non-plug and play event. It I had it in front of me I could make it all work, but for the average guy this would not be the case...
