Re: Odometer Stopped

[David Head <dave.head@worldnet.att.net>]

The flexible gear in the odometer drive is stripped - BTDT. Call VDO America and
ask to get it repaired. It will cost 80-100.00. I have a post at how on this
issue - its also in the archives about 22 months back. Hope you don't have my
horror story. Alternately, you can pull the flexible gear out of any turbo
quattro speedo.
