WTB: MK2 speedo CE1 (1985-1989?)
Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2015 9:41 pm
Need a good CE1 speedo. Either 120mph or 100mph.
1986 Jetta, CE1, cluster has two electrical connectors on back, one white and one black.
When I first got the car, it read ~15% too high all of the time. Then it started to occasionally read accurately. Lately it changes +/- 15% as it wishes. Really. When driving along at a steady speed, the speedometer will go up or down 10-15mph at about 65mph. Seems to be affected by bumps in the road, and sometimes throttle position. I don't understand. I thought the speedometer was entirely mechanical, but it acts like an electrical component with a bad electrical connection. I swapped the speedometer driven gear to the green one with one more tooth, but that seemed to only slow down the odometer - the speedo still reads the same, way too high.
Thanks.
