I had this happen about 8 years ago or so but I can't seem to remember what the outcome was. I was driving down the interstate the other day and all of the sudden, my speedo started making this really loud screaming, buzzing, whining noise. It is a fairly commen problem, I just can't remember for the life of me what causes it and how to fix it. Anyone know off the top of their head? ...Peter H.

Happened to me in about every one of the 32 VW's and Porsche's I've owned.
Sometimes it's been moisture in the winter freezing inside the thing. Punching it REAL hard sometimes works, but it hurts your hand. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Usually fixed it by squirting WD40 or graphite into there. You can take it apart too. Its pretty easy, lube it up almost always fixes it. I found that eventually if its does this the speedo will get stiff and break your cable- same applies to old 356 Tach's. They get you back by pumping oil up the cable into the gauge and onto your shoes while you're on a 2300 mile roadtrip. Bob O (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
