Post by: Gambit on 03 May 2005, 10:26: there is two speedo drives for VW's. a red one & a white one

red one is for 120 & 160mph clocks
white for 140mph clocks

cost under a Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£1 from VAG and just snap on the gearbox end of the speedo cable

Post by: hockeylad72 on 06 May 2005, 21:27: had same sort off problem when I changed my clocks as my mfa was not working, after 3 clock changes the speedo now reads as it should

the clocks can be calibrated around Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£40.00 from a company calles speedy cables

click FAQ's at bottom of page will give you info on recalibration

but as the others have said make sure you have the correct speedo drive in the gearbox
