Hi Larry & all other helpers out there,
still working on the odo/speedo problem.
Here's what I did:
1.) pulled out the instrument cluster and checked if the cable in the back was tight - it was!
2.) pulled out the cable to be able to see the end of it.
3.) removed the 10MM bolt at the trans and pulled out the cable down there, too.
4.) spinned the cable with my fingers (down at the trans) which I could do without any effort
at all while my friend checked the other end of the cable (behind the speedo)
--> but the other end didn't spin at all!
This makes me think that the cable must be broken somewhere in the middle of the guide hose.
What confirms this suspicion is the fact, that I COULDN'T FEEL ANY RESTISTANCE
while spinning the cable with my fingers down there at the trans. When I tried to spin the other
end of the cable (behind the speedo) with my fingers (as a sort of cross-check), it took a great
effort to make it spin even just a little bit (there was a pretty strong resistance!)
*Do you also think the cable is broken, or is it normal what I described above?
*Would you change the entire cable including housing or just the inner cable?
Thanks so much in advance!
Best,
Tschepplmasta.
