Speedometer Disassembly

Fri Sep 10 12:47:14 PDT 2010

I occasionally have the same problem. I have not had mine apart, but it behaves much the same.
I thought they were magnetic driven, so how does a good bump or thump change anything?

atient: Type 44 Turbo Quattro 309,000km
I have re-installed my dash cluster with the new 20 tooth 9mm wheel under
he mini-circuit board. I re-installed....funny thing that the speedometer
nd odometer do not function. When I bang the left part of the dash the
peedometer pops up but goes down again. Sometimes on its own the
peedometer needle pops up but descends again.

deas?
Max

Interesting.  I haven't been to the site for a long time.
Obviously he/they are missing some data, since "82-91" 5k encompasses 
wo totally different chassis.  Sort of.  type 44 started in Europe in 
3, right?  Came to US in 84.
Anyway, that doesn't matter so much as that he says he is glad to make 
arts he doesn't already, so someone should call him and send him a 
epresentative (broken) gear to work from.
By the way, I think I have an old type 44 cluster kicking around here 
omewhere...

 the same culprit gear has 15 teeth. I have seen on
 http://www.odometergears.com/audi.html that sells gears for the 1982-1991
 5000  (C3)  a 26 tooth gear.

 My white base on which the broken gear is attached has a large on other
ide
 meshing with main odometer and trip odometer has 16 teeth. Advertised at
 http://www.odometergears.com/audi.html I see for 1982-1991 5000  (C3)  a
5
 tooth gear displayed.

 I wonder why the differences in tooth count?
