Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / October 2006Lazy speedometer
Hi On my 87 944 the speedo sometimes is slow to move off the '0' stop as I move away from rest. May take 100 yards or so , but it always works eventually. I am taking the inst panel out soon to replace bulbs . When it is out I have an opportunity to fix the speedo but what do I do? I thought a quick spray with contact cleaner may help, any ideas?

If you find a solution, please be kind enough to post it. > Hi > On my 87 944 the speedo sometimes is slow to move off the '0' stop as I move [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Alec I would be really hesitant to put any oily substance onto the speedo - but you could try a strong degreaser (such as MEK))on the pivots and then a tiny drop of clock oil on each needle bearing - but spray.... I would very much recommend against it.. also degrease the stop that the needle rests on at 0 mph/kph. I was very careful in saying clock oil - don't use wd-40, 3 in one, or some other stuff like that > Hi > On my 87 944 the speedo sometimes is slow to move off the '0' stop as I [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Alec  SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
