Paul,

I don't believe there is a one catch all year where the tachs were standard.
It's probably safe to say a majority of the 86-91 US spec GL models had
tachs. The base model non-GL's or L models in 90-91 rarely had tachs and
only as an extra cost option. The tachs are not as common in Europe and
other markets as I have had several post 89 T3's w/o tachs. Of course, the
diesel ones did not normally come with tachs though I have heard some peple
claim theirs had one. Even so they are so rare and none at all I have ever
heard in the US.

89 Syncro 16 Doka (no tach -- factory TD)
85 Syncro Doka (tach -- maybe an update add-on?)
88 Canadian 2wd Doka (tach)
85 Vanagon GL (tach)
84 Vanagon GL (tach)
84 Vanagon GL (no tach - before add-on)
87 Vanagon GL (tach)
