Re: Odometer Stopped!

["Dave Ewing" <rabbit16v@prodigy.net>]

It is a plastic gear and they crack from the center out causing the gear to
not fit tightly on the shaft of the odometer.  The little gears are like a
buck or so at pretty much any serious VW shop.  Make sure you know the tooth
count!!!

    This is probably in the FAQ's somewhere, but what's happening  is that
your
little metal gear on the end of the odometer shaft is slipping on the shaft.
It
can be taken apart and fixed (I remember somebody - Brett? - posting
detailed
instructions on how to do it) by glueing, but it's a PITA. I'm going to
attempt
it someday, I swear : )
