Speedo
« on: 06 March 2009, 15:48 »
I have done a search, but it seems as though the q has been asked, but no answer has been given.

I have a mk3 8v, and my speedo has packed up, anyone know how to fix and is it a cable?? its a k reg.

Thanks!!

Samantha

These speedos are electronic and the sender could be faulty (but reading your other thread where it says kmh etc..its possible they have non original/working dials fitted!!) can you post a part no from the back on the clocks or take a picture.
oh and there fairly cheap to buy and fail easily (I'm on my 3rd set after faulty dials!!)

That could mean it's been resprayed or a new boot lid has been put on.

You should of checked certain things over?  :huh:


I will have to disagree with you, the MK3 is a very solid car, where did you buy it for £600?

Its a 600 pound runaround, bought it off a friend, all I was interested in was whether it had tax and mot, it did, it needs lots of bits done to it, if I wanted a minter, I wouldn't have bought it!

I'm not moaning, simply stating what I'm finding ;-)

even so 600 quid, i'd still say its a cheap car!
