Obey_R 23 Posted March 17, 2013 So I bought new drive dogs and I've got a new speedo cable but I think there's a problem with the unit itself. On the end where the small red cog fits, is there meant to be an additional square drive which fits into the cog? Or is it that the speedo cable should be long enough to go through into the cog? At the moment there looks to be left overs of a square drive but it is nowhere near long enough to mate up with the reg cog. I'm hoping it's that bit thats broken and I can just fit a new drive unit?

welshpug 1,626 Posted March 17, 2013 is it an elecrtonic pickup unit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obey_R 23 Posted March 17, 2013 I don't know what that is haha its just the standard white drive unit for a BE3 1900 box, cog in one end cable in the other. It does have a connection on it though, yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,626 Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Its not the standard unit if it has a 3pin plug on it, however it is correct for your application if you have a gti6 or s16 ecu, or similar non 205 sysyem and a mechanical speedometer head. There should be a square drive pin for the cog to engage with, speedo cable plugs into the top. Only with a full mechanical drive unit does the cable go directly into the cog Edited March 17, 2013 by welshpug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obey_R 23 Posted March 17, 2013 Okay thanks. So I need to retain that type of drive unit as I have a GTi6 fitted, correct? I can see a loose bit of plastic rattling about inside the bottom of the unit so I guess it's pretty broken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obey_R 23 Posted March 17, 2013 Can someone please confirm this is the right drive unit for GTi6 use? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360608736341?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
