Re: [DML] steering wheel bounce/determinig speedometer problem

[Scott Cagle <sharkywtrs@xxxx>]

The best thing to do when trying to diagnose a speedo problem is start on one side of it (usually the upper cable) and work your way down. Pull the upper cable out of the lambda counter and turn the metal rod by hand. If your speed moves, it's good. Then go down to the angle drive and take the lower cable off. Then turn the metal rod by hand on that one. It will be harder to turn, but if it moves the speedo, it's good. Look inside the angle drive where you just removed the cable, then turn the wheel. If you see the inside moving, it's good. After that, check the red cap on the inside of the left wheel, make sure it's making good contact and the cable isn't slipping inside. Doing it this way makes it a lot easier to isolate any problems. I'm having speedo trauma at the moment myself and just looking for time to get in and tear it down. Good luck!!
