Subject:      Noisy speedo
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


Well the weather in the SF Bay Area is finally getting cold for more than a
day.


Yesterday morning, the speedometer starts making a whirling noise as I head
down the street for the first drive of the day.  It's definitely coming from
the speedo.  As the drive goes on for more than a few minutes, the sound
will go away and not come back for the rest of the day.  This morning, the
same noise on the first drive of the day, and then eventually goes away.


I have lubed the speedo cable in the past (during warmer weather) and that
worked.  This is a different noise and I think it's from the inside of the
speedo.


So what do I lube and what do I lube with?


Thanks.
