Guest Pad Posted March 3, 2007 Afternoon all, I recently suffered from a knackered speedo in my CTi so naturally thought it was the cable. Have replaced it this morning and it is still not working (although it did have a little murmer as I first moved off). I now think its the drive. Whilst I was at the main stealership this morning to get some gearbox oil I had a look at the fiche (well the PC anyway) and is seems you can take the drive out of the gearbox? I have removed the 11mm headed bolt that would appear to hold it in but cant slide it out.. is there something I am missing and has anyone replaced the drive that could give me some pointers please? Many thanks in advance, Pad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is an O-ring on it that might make it tighter than you expect though. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pugnut 9 1 Cars Posted March 3, 2007 i've had grief before with the cable popping off the back of the clocks again when i refit them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Pad Posted March 3, 2007 mm, mine was properly jammed. I will give it another go tomorrow and try and twist it. If I need to get the 'tachometer screw' out presumably its a driveshaft off job? Thanks for the advice and the exploded view. (BTW, I am pretty sure it is not popping out the back...) Cheers, Pad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Pad Posted March 4, 2007 Got it out this morning with by being a bit less dainty with it. If you have a look at the photo below though, it really doesnt look worn so I would assume that the large screw would also be ok. Anyway, this tends to point to the facia? I think I might reconnect the cable whilst the gear is out and rotate it and see if I can get a helper to see a flicker on the speedo. Does this sound like a reasonable approach?

Does this sound like a reasonable approach? Sounds like the best next step if you don't have a spare set of clocks. Either that or drive the car along your street with the gearbox end connected 7 the clocks removed to see if its turning as it should. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gti_al 1 Posted March 7, 2007 Have you tried using a drill to spin the gearbox end... if it works you know that end is responsible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
