HELP: 944 Odometer Failure...

Jon

There are so many of these at the Porsche breakers, it's barely worth opening it up to do the repair. You can get the part number for your speedo from the edge of the face to get a perfect match.

The failure is usually caused by resetting the trip meter while moving.

Along the same lines, I just bought (today) an '88 944. The odo does not work. I am sure I can handle the repair myself, but how do I remove the instrument cluster? The PO is supposed to be hooking me up with the manual on CD but I don't have it yet.

thanks,

nate

for an 88 with the airbag, step one is disconnect the battery, step 2 is remove the air bag (uses torx bit from the backside ,,,, , place it somewhere safe FACE UP, then follow the excellant instructions,,,,, yes , you have to remove the steering wheel.... !!!!

OK... I took it apart last night and here the gear that meshes with the worm gear, well the little part of it is half stripped... I shimmed the gear that it drives over with a piece of business card so it works for now but I'd like to fix it right... anywhere I can get just that gear?

thanks,

WHAAAAAAAAAA?

I didn't think the sticker shock would start this early...

On the upside I passed inspection with flying colors today, mechanic came out to tell me what a nice car I had...
