Re: speedo stuck

Lisa,

One of the plastic gears might have given up - or the cable is shot.

If you have a spare speedo around, or one you can borrow real quick from 
another VW .. swap it in, drive it, see if it does the same thing, yes=bad 
cable, no=bad speedo. If you don't have one, best thing to do is to remove 
the cluster, remove the cover, take the speedo plate off (only if the needle 
comes off easily .. ) and look at the gears to see if they're in one piece. 
If yes, then it's the cable and I'm sure that's more troublesome to fix?!

Hi listers,

My speedo is stuck! Does anyone know how to unstick it? It clicks every
tenth of a km and tries to change numbers. Not putting kms on the car is
great, but the clicking is really annoying and even turning the stereo up
won't drown it out :(

Has anyone ever had and fixed this problem??

TIA,

Lisa
