Clio 172 Cup clocks in a normal 172... Redline issues

[Magic_Johnson]

Hey guys..Merry Christmas!!

Just a quick one..

After breaking my rev counter mechanism in my original clocks, i picked up some new clocks cheap on ebay (perfect working order etc)

Their from a 172 cup..

I noticed that after i fit them, when my cars warm, i cant get it to the redline. I can get it to about 6750 and it bounces off the redline... Should it actually go into the redline on the clocks??

Whats the maximum RPM it should go to??

Would it make a difference to the redline between a 172 and a 172 cup clocks??

Many thanks

Scott

check the coolent temp sensor and wiring the 6.8k redline is for a cold engine.
