Positioning of speedo cable
« on: 05 August 2004, 12:43 »
Hi all i am replacing my speedo cable and would like to know the original positioning of it! I have seen them been re-positioned in various ways, just would like to know the best.

at the moment my original one is throught the bulk head, over/next the throttle and around the front of the engine, under the water pipe and clutch cable!

Thanks

All the MK2s I've seen have it routed this way, GTI or not.  I clamped mine to the back of the engine bay under the rain scuttle, and it helped stop the needle jerking so much (cos me cable is buggered)
