[V8] Catastrophe (well, sort of)

[Roger M. Woodbury]

I had a séance with my V8 this afternoon and the odometer has started to
work as normal.

Audis heal themselves if you just know the right words.

Hi Ron:  Yes, I think you did send me one, and I used the gears and the
electric drive motor that actually moves the gears to get my old one working
again.  

Do you have another one?

Odometer failure!  Again!

 

I took the V8 out to get fuel.  After filling the tank, I zeroed out all the
computer outputs that can be zeroed as is my habit, and then reset the
odometer.

 

When I went out to drive the car yesterday, I backed it out of the garage
and when I got half way to town, I noticed that the odometer was not moving
and the trip meter was still set to zeros.  

 

The motor that resets it is still working, but the numbers are frozen.  I
suspect the worst:  the little gears are gone and the speedo will have to be
removed so new ones can get installed.  I do NOT want to return it to the
wrench for this, so I guess I may have to figure out how to take off the pad
and pull the cluster.which is a job that I am not keen about at all.never
been there or done that before is the wimpy reason.

 

Just after Steve rebuilt the speedo for me before, it froze once, only to
clear a few miles later.  I am hoping that one of the little odo gears has
broken a tooth and it is jammed.and will clear itself.  

 

Well, I can hope, can't I?

 

Roger
