Faulty odometer

[Hughesy]

G'day guys need some help please

I reset the odometer today on my 964 and after resetting to zero it no longer works

The speedo works okay but nothing is ticking over on the recording of how far I've travelled

Any hints on fixing this will be greatly appreciated

Regards Hughesy

and never reset them if the car is moving, only when fully stopped or the gears strip, or so I've been told.

I just going to ask the question, why would you need to "reset" your odo?

[Peter M]

Hughesy,

I recommend www.repairsonly.com.au for the parts. The two gears will cost $50 and they are reasonably easy to replace if you follow the YouTube video that features a 993 speedo repair which is the same. The owner, Mr Smithers and his mother reminded me of that old ABC series Mother and Son but they still managed to get the gears to me in a couple days. Just need to remove the old gears first to make sure you order the right tooth number and size. They can do the repair for you too if you wish.

They're in Sydney BTW

Sorry thought he was talking about the trip meter.

yeah the gears strip teeth 'cause they're moving as you engage the reset (and snap some teeth off or the gear)

 

happens on a lot of older German cars (my old mercs had the same issue if you pressed it while driving)

Thanks guys. I'm on to it now.

Cheers hughesy.

Ps. I was on the move when I reset.

[Hughesy]

Hounddub , it was the trip meter I reset.

Again thanks everyone.
