I am new to A2's although very familiar with pre 85 VW's of every sort.... Anyway what is the track record of A2 odometers? Mine currently works and is at 131K.

'86 Jetta GLI 299K and counting....
They can be rolled back quite easily. ;)
A friend of mine warned me that the A2 odometers usually give out at around 120 - 150k miles. He was right, mine started slowing down at about 150k. Good thing is it is fairly easy to fix.

mine's working fine although the trip one has jammed a few times.
85 Jetta TD, replaced original Speedo - because of broken odometer - with a new one in 1990 at about 65 000km, odometer of replacement still working at 430 000km.

On my long-departed '85 Jetta, it became very tempramental at ~125K -- it would stop working for a few days if I was foolish enough to reset the trip odometer. Finally stopped altogether at indicated 145K (estimated to be closer to 160K at the time).
