Title: WTB SPEEDOMETER for 1986 Jetta TD
Post by: scrounger on July 25, 2012, 06:06:56 am

The odometer went out on my Jetta so I am looking for a replacement.

Thanks, Scrounger

why not fix the one you have?

there is a 99% chance that the replacement will quit working soon as well..

its VERY COMMON for vw odometers to quit working, or skip alot..

the problem is a split gear. the solution is a drop of super glue..

Repair sounds good. I'll dig into it. The previous owner reset the trip meter while driving and the ODO went out. The speedometer is still working.
Thanks.
