Hi,
Renault Clio 1.2 H Reg 80,000 on clock. Fitted with speedometer cable/ not electric.
My speedometer has been sticking/slow to respond recently, If I accelerate from say 30 - 40, it stays where it is then shoots up to the current speed. Hard to say if it happens at higher speeds as I rarely go that fast.
The milometer works fine and there is no needle oscillation.
My first plan of action is to remove the dash/instrument panel and see if the cable rotates easily withut any stress and if so to squirt some oil into the speedo as I think it has probably got gunked up over the years.
Is this the right course of action? I have read that this can cause problems with the needle sticking. Or should I be starting at the engine end?
thanks,
/Heds
