I noticed that my speedo was acting up when I had lost the clip on the end
that holds to the end of the dust cover over the wheel bearing.  Also,  at
the same time U had a bad wheel bearing.

Hi,

I just bought a 1987 Transporter/Vanagon 1.6 Diesel last week and have been
lurking on the list since then. I bet the people on this list can help me
with the only annoying thing on my Transporter:
The speedometer seems to be pointing at a speed about 20 kilometres too
high and it really wobbles when it does. So it's kinda hard to tell how
fast I'm going... I know it's probably not running faster than 110
kilometres an hour, but below that, I'm just guessing.

Is there anything I can do about it? Hitting it (hard) didn't help, can I
replace it? Someone told me you can't because you're not allowed to temper
with the thingy that tells how many kilometres the engine has run (or
something).

Greetings,

Peter.
(1987 Transporter 1.6D)
