[s-cars] Dead Speedo

[Tom Green]

I would expect it is not a really serious problem, Riff.  The  
electronic speedometer
has been very reliable in the S6.  The sensor is on the left side of  
the transmission.
I would verify the connection is good and perhaps clean the  
contacts.  There are
many opportunities for liquids to compromise the connections.  The  
sensor is not
an expensive item and available from many online parts suppliers as  
well.

You can also check channel 17 on the HVAC head for vehicle speed  
information
to verify where the problem lies.  See the knowledge base in Audifans  
for details.

Even if it is the speedometer head itself there should be several  
available used
from the marketplace or Force 5/ Shokan/ Dads, especially if someone  
has a
damaged cluster to purchase the donor from.  Details for removing the  
instrument
cluster are well documented on s-cars.org and other places.

You shouldn't make comments like that, Riff.  The car may be  
listening.  :-)
