This is a very common failure mode for these speedo's. Go to
www.pelicanparts.com & look for the tech brief on speedo repair in the
Porsche 914 section. The site's aimed at Porsche and BMW owners, but the
repair procedure is the same.

================================================
Also sprach Grungy :
While this stuff had my attention the odometer decided that it had
had enough at 201554.  The speedometer still works, but the miles are
no longer counted.  An odd un-coupling of the function of this gauge
- I've never seen a VW/VDO speedo/odo die like this before.  The
Bozobus ate a *bunch* of speedo cables, but that lost both
measurements.  I'll miss estimating the MPG...
