Mileage Not Moving

[djinuk 2]

In my 205 xs the clocks all work , alll light up, rev counter etc all works for the mileage never moves, its been like this for 8 months now since we brought the car , any ideas what could be up with it, is there any wires i should be checking or will it just need a new set of clock to go in ?

The mileage counter on the speedo clocks of a GTI is mechanical counter and is moved by the speedo cable.

 

You could always put in just the speedo head. See picture

(probably not the best example to show Item not in use

 

You would have to partialy disect the clocks and remove the needle to remove it,

So if your'e feeling lazy, you could just try a different set of clocks

diffrent set of clock sounds best bet, how do i set the mileage to correct figure ?

[DaveW 6]

erm you cant really try to find one with nearish the same mileage, unless you want to sit there all day with a drill!

[t16ryan 1]

you can change the mileage easily if you seperate the cogs

[djinuk 2]

hmm, could be a mission to find the correct clocks surely, mite have to attempt to adjust em

[djinuk 2]

if i say got a set of low low mileage clocks, would i need to let anybody know, as the engine has had a rebuild so i guess thats kinda a reason to , tehres a set on ebay at 33k

Check the speedo cable - it is probably not properly in at one end.
