 Speedometer stopped working yesterday. Yesterday evening, I disconnected
the speedometer cable from speedometer. Removed the driver's side duct and
duct panel from dash. Extended the speedometer cable throught the hole in
the dash where the duct panel was.

This morning, drove to work. Noticed the internal cable was
turning/rotating. However, the end that turns the speedometer in the cable
seems to far sunk in to connect to the speedometer. Guessing that the
speedometer cable external portion is stretched out. Now what?
88 Fox wagon. Backup speedometer available in garage.

 did you examine the cable to see if the outer sheath/casing/cover­/conduit to
see if it did stretch somewhere?
I guess it is possible.
I wonder if there is a clip that holds the inner part from shifting up or
down in the casing and maybe it broke.
How far down is it and can you easily & gently pull it up with some needle
nose pliers?

later,
dave

 Slight discoloration in a few spots. No apparent appearance of stretching.
Guessing the exterior side is stretched some myself. No evidence of any
mechanism to maintain the inside aligned with outside, except for the brass
"nut?" at the end of the cable speedometer end just before the clip that
holds it to the speedometer.
Have tried standard needlenose and a pair of "baby" sized needlenosed
pliers. Neither are skinny enough to access the end of the inner part.
Guess I'll have to pull all out and try to squash the outer part together.
The speedometer cable was found to have the wrong gearing back when I bought
it. Speedometer was reading way to fast. Replaced with gear less teeth,
tests accurate per odometer. That was a decade ago.
Guess I'll look for a new or less used cable even if I can make the old one
work again.

Found replacement cable on internet at a VW parts outlet site. Its the one
piece, not the 2 parter. Just getting "discontinued" from VW parts at local
VW dealer. Used/salvage yards just gave me deer in headlights look, then
say they don't have it.
