Subject:      Speedometer/odometer problem
Content-Type: text/plain

Hello all:


Question #2 for my new 88 Vanagon Westy:


The odometer stopped working awhile back. Then, the speedometer started
making a whining noise. I fiddled with the cable entering into the
speedo/odo box, taking it out, then pushing it back in a few times, wiggling
it while driving, etc. Nothing worked. So, the question is: How does one
repair this equipment? Is it worthwhile taking out the speedo and tinkering
with the gears? Or is it unfixable, and I must get a new speedo? I'd prefer
not to do this, of course, because I'd like to keep the odometer reading
accurate (and not spend a lot of money).


Suggestions?


Thanks.


Tim T.
