Greetings from Munich again gentlemen, and the odd lady or two! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Can someone tell me what's up with the trip odometer on my KM speedo gauge? Is there seriously no reset button? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Thanks! Mike |

Early trip odometer reset cables were longer and used a metal knob with set screw. Later ones, like my '74s, used a friction fit black plastic knob. I think the change was after 1971 but someone please correct me.
If you have an AC unit, the later cable is too short and might be lurking somewhere under the dash. Mine was. |
