 Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2014 12:38 pm Post subject: Odometer shaft problem on MK1 |
 |
|
My mk1 has had this problem before I just push the shaft back in after it got loose and the worm gear couldn't contact the gear to turn it. I just fix it yesterday and get in my car today and head to work and I notice it stopped turning again. There is no doubt in my mind that its the same problem. How do I keep the shaft in there so it doesn't come out again.
A quick question about the triple guages in the center console Iknow one is the electrical meter one has a temp reading but have no clue what the third is.
Thanks guys |

I recommend just changing out the entire gauge cluster if you continue to have problems. There are plenty for sale out there and it's a fairly easy swap.
About your second Q -- Does it say "Bar" with single digit increments on it? It's an oil pressure gauge. |

Yeah it says bar in single digit numbers that means I no longer need a oil pressure gauge.
Are you sure there isn'ta fix for it |

Thanks for the help fixed it yesterday. But accidentally broke my speedo needle  but glued it back together and had to reinforce it with part of a zip tie until I can get a new one. |
