Thank You.


Now how the heck does this stupid thing come apart so I can fix it? I reset the trip computer and that was the end. Should I just send it to Palo Alto Speedometer or something? The gear likely slipped, I hoped to at least get 100k out of it.

It's an easy fix. What can't you get out?

... I'll take it apart tomorrow. Its the least of my worries right now.

A quick search didn't yield any Audi specific examples. Looks like the Scirocco has a mechanical VDO speedometer like hte early Audis do.<ul><li><a href="http://www.garageprosoftware.com/scirocco/tech_odometer.htm">http://www.garageprosoftware.com/scirocco/tech_odometer.htm</a</li></ul>

..now you're one of the "cool guys". Everyone's ODO breaks. Its just a question of "when?"

But there is no need to take the faceplate off. I just removed the gauges from the cluster surround itself and pushed the gear back in, eliminated the O2 counting gear, and made a metal piece that I epoxied in place so the gear would not walk out anymore.

easy, yes. reliable, no. After fixing mine every other week for a few months I sent it out.

What was your fix? Did you slide a metal clip in to hold the slipping gear? I never had an issue

It might work for me, it stopped dead at 199 turning to 200 so I'm guessing the OXS counter gear is causing part of the problem.

I tried multiple things like a paper clip to keep the gear from popping out
