My speedo has decided to stop working (odometer as well)...when i went to drive home from work i noticed, but i do know that it was working on the way to work that morning...strange. Can anybody tell me if there are any common problems with R32 speedos? Something come loose or did the cable snap? How hard is it to take the dash apart to see if it's turning? SOmeone told me it was a 10 minute job....i hope they're right.

Thanks,

Scott

Whole dash comes out as one unit....

two screws at the top of the face plate, drop down steering wheel, ease out all points (as in all corners stereo, above gear stick, etc)

should all "pop" out with a bit of force.

as for the rest, talk to a auto electrician, they'll want a whole day to work on them, unless you have a wiring diagram.

MM2death, the problem is the little gears inside that drive the odo, over time gradually wear out and the little teeth break off in one spot hense giving no drive to the number display. rip the panel out urself and send to an instrament tech. should be around the $70 mark. i got mate who fixes gauges, but we a bit far away...

good luck tho

cheers matt

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 12 years later!

      Would something like this be an option  https://processhose.com/products/configurable-metal-hoses/1-2-in-t316-stainless-steel-annular-corrugated-configurable-flexible-metal-hose-assembly-with-ends-t304-single-braid-masterflex-af5550.html I'm looking at this for replacing the OEM EGR when installing a aftermarket intake plenum

      The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding

      Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.

      Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
