It would seem that I need a new speedometer. I have an 84 Vanagon. My speedometer, on the freeway, @ around 55 or 60, and after I have been driving about 10 minutes or so... the speedometer will start registering faster than it is actually going -by a lot. Suddenly I glance @ the speedometer and I think I'm going 90-95 or so, or more. I discussed it @ the place where I get used VW parts (a wrecking yard) and they say it isn't the cable, that the cable usually works or doesn't work, but wouldn't cause symptoms like that. I guess I need a new speedometer. How much do they go for? Who's got one they wanna sell me? Thanks, gang. Dean. |
