[Vwdiesel] 85 Quantum Speedometer

[Gerald Hughet]

Good Evening List Members,

 

My 85 Quantum diesel is nearly back on the road.  However, it would be nice if I could get the speedometer working again.

 

A knowledgable mechanic suggested that there was a small gear within the dash speedometer housing that tends to break.  He referred me to a particular repair shop and a particular mechanic within that shop.  Guess what?  Retirement removed the mechanic and the computer age has removed the mechanical speedometer overhaul department.

 

I do have access to a Quantum (Gas) parts car and will trade out - if possible - the instrument panel for immediate use but do want to have the diesel instrument panel repaired.

 

Any suggestions on this?

 

Thanks,

 

Gerry
