Speedo issues in my Fasty
Speedo getting stuck
Hi all, my speedo is getting stuck at various places randomly on the dial. Suburb cruising 40 sometimes 60km/h. Freeway at about 80 no higher. It was
working perfectly despite the car being driven lately maybe once a month over the last 6 months (don't think that should effect it).
It happened after I replaced dash with a new one, took all gauges out and then replaced after. Cable is all good and fine at hub end. Cable runs via
speed sensor as I'm running a Suby engine. Can't think what I've done wrong. Took gauge out and turned over with a battery drill with and without
speed sensor, still getting stuck.
Any ideas?
1971 Type 3 Fasty - EJ20T
I love 242HP sleepers.
How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn?

I also run cable to electronic speed sensor and had my needle jumping around a bit. For me, it was just the case that I had to much bend in my cable
as I was trying to hide it. Gave it the simpler path and it sits rock solid now at correct speed.
Just my experience and 2c, Kev
I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!
