[urq] Cruise Control

[Patrick Carlier]

If you have a cable driven speedo , there's a good chance the gears
are toast .

For a EU car : Part nrs
088409197 driven gear
016409187 drive gear
014409193A cable support .
They all work together , and usually they're badly worn .
 If they are , I would adivse to replace all 3 of them , or at least the 2 
gears .

The driven gear comes out easily .
Remove the speedo cable fron the gearbox .
Remove the aluminium cable support .
Carefull , don't get dirt in the gearbox
Pull out the driven gear .

Acces to the drive gear is a bit less  easy :
Rremove the left front driveshaft .
Remove the left front gearbox flage ,  center bolt , then pull it out . )
Oil will most likely spill , jack up the left side of the car as high as 
possible . .
Remove the oil seal from the gearbox .
Then you can pry out the drive gear with a pair of screwdrivers .
Most of the time it eases out easily , if not , simply hit it , and it will 
break in two pieces .
Then pull out the ieces :)


Good luck
Pat
