RE: Arrrrgh! Damn Odometer!

I'm assuming my 87 16v scirocco story might help you....

I feel for you... when I pulled my instrument cluster for the same reason, i
found the same thing.... I could turn the input and and the odometer would
turn so everything should be fine, right?

Well, i decided to replace the light bulbs in my cluster which required a
trip to the parts store. Not wanting put the cluster in to drive a mile to
the store, I just drove without the cluster...kinda strange seeing the fire
wall when you go to check the tach.  But what did I notice when i glanced at
the fire wall?? The speedo cable...WASN'T TURNING.

If the cable won't turn, the speedo and the odometer aren't gonna work
either.


So.. the moral of the story... you probably need a new speedo cable.

Subject: Arrrrgh! Damn Odometer!



	After spending 2 hrs taking the odometer on my car and recording
picture and method (see web site for that info)
	and reseating the gear back in place, and it looked like it was
functional (Manually tunring the distance meter turned the odometer just
fine)
	I took a trip this morning to the dealer to get some parts and ...
well.... it does not work again....arrrrrgh..

	Anyone know aside from changeing the whole thing (odometer) what else
could be wrong with it ?
