Background
Due to varying quality of materials used in the speedometer gear wheel (A) or to initial damage during assembly of the gear wheel in production, the speedometer in the above cars may stop working.
When changing the gear wheel, place the new gear in boiling water for 45-60 minutes before fining. This will prevent damage that can otherwise occur when the gear is pressed onto the differential housing.
