Car Forum / Volvo Cars / October 2006dead odometer- '89 240 wagon
suddenly stopped working, although the speedo is still ok, so I'm guessing the little geared wheel has broken or jammed someway... happened before, about 4 years ago, and I was able to find a replacement speedometer head in the local junkyard. At that time, I noticed there were several different configurations, but got lucky. I was wondering if I don't see exactly the same type, can I likely use the gear out of a slightly different model? That is, did they all use pretty much the same guts, just wrapped in a different cosmetic package???... You should need a gear from a wagon. The internals are different. Wagons have a 9800 below the odometer.

Have a look here: > http://www.hyperocity.com/volvo240/volvoodometer.htm John Thanks for the link! I read thru it, and will take a look at my speedometer tomorrow. It's been a couple years since I've had to pull the instruments out, so this was a good review.... > suddenly stopped working, although the speedo is still ok, so I'm guessing > the little geared wheel has broken or jammed someway... happened before, [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > is, did they all use pretty much the same guts, just wrapped in a different > cosmetic package???... '86-'93 240s all used electric speedometers, earlier ones were cable. Cosmetics on any 240 speedo are pretty much identical, and in the case of the electric ones the internals should be the same as well since you don't have to worry about drive ratios like in the cable type. I believe somebody (IPD?) sells a repair kit for them. >'86-'93 240s all used electric speedometers, earlier ones were cable. >Cosmetics on any 240 speedo are pretty much identical, and in the case >of the electric ones the internals should be the same as well since you >don't have to worry about drive ratios like in the cable type. > >I believe somebody (IPD?) sells a repair kit for them.
