Hello GT, I don't think its a model name, ????? I would describe it as "Escapade,,, an on going problem,, a never ending situation,, sorry I don't know the French word for this, Fitzy

just a badge name for a 106 L

This is possibly about the age where it could be either or even BOTH!

How does that work? The speedo is driven by a cable and an electronic sensor for the ECU. This is how my Jan 95 pug does it.

Look at the differential housing just above where the righthand driveshaft comes out. There will be either

1)just a sensor with a 3 pin connector on the side 2) Just a mechanical cable coming out the top or 3)A sensor with 3 pin connector with a mechanical cable coming out the top.

Often the fault is a stripped gear on the bottom of this sensor/cable. less than a fiver from pug and dead easy to change. One 10 or 11 mm a/f bolt and it lifts out. Just make sure you jack the car up and properly secure it with the right hand side tipped up. This drains the gear oil away from the side you are working on and so you should not lose any oil.

Good luck Bob

may also be worth checking the engine harness connection

Hi Jeff,

Thanks.

Hi,

True, but it seems it's electronic speedo only on Mk2 106s, according to the spare parts CD.

I agree. I think you'll find it has a cable only. Though as a previous poster said, it may be the driven gear where the cable fits into the gear box. And if you're really unlucky, and it has happened to me at work, it could even be the driving gear in the extension housing, where the driveshaft fits into the box. Not too bad a job, but it requires the driveshaft to be taken out.
