RE: FW: Audi 200 Speedo Fix

["Buchholz, Steven" <Steven.Buchholz@kla-tencor.com>]

Thanks for passing along your experience Larry!  It turns out that I'm not
currently experiencing an intermittent problem myself ... I was just passing
along the comments sent to me by a non-lister who showed me (at least) yet
another way for the electronic speedo to fail ...  

I guess I've been pretty fortunate over all given the number of susceptible
cars I and my family own.  So far the only problem I've had was a sending
unit that got so gunked up with Pentosin from years of a drip treatment that
it finally froze internally and the plastic drive that engages the drive
gear sheared ...
