Re: Odometer/Trip Meter Woes 200 1987

Yeah, my answer was based on thinking that your speedo was out, too. If the speedo works, the signal in getting to it. My speedo does quit sometimes, thank heavens for the tach.

The o/d is, I think, driven from the speedo via a teeny plastic gear that fails and is apparently hard to repair/replace outside the VDO service store. The VDO place in Houston quoted me $200 to repair, in his shop. ! YUK ! With the brain power on this board I would have thought someone would have a way to fabricate a gear or a build-around of some sort.

Frankly, I'm as stuck as your are. I have been forced to estimate my two o/d challenged 240's at 1,000 miles a month, and doing the 3000 miles oil change etc. every quarter. Gas mileage is a dead issue.

Good Luck, and please post anything you find.

Regards,

Bob
