Re: Speedo Is not working 200 84

The speedometers are a notorious part on the Volvo 240! The odo is unreliable, and will usually be the first to break. The Speedometer (speed indication) is not much better. I would suggest that you check the speedo cable by unhooking it from the rear of the speedometer, and attempt to turn the rotating part in the centre by hand. If it turns, the cable is broken. Next try driving the car up and down the driveway while observing the cable end to see if it rotates. If the cable is rotating when the car is moving, it's time to remove your instrument cluster and send it off for repairs. It should only cost about $65 to $100 US to be repaired at a reputable shop.
