Possible noisy speedo

[Simon 1867]

Has anyone had or experienced a short of clicking sound as they are driving from the speedo? As you get faster the noise gets quicker. Proberly not explained this very well.

Yes it was the mileage cogs on mine

Sometimes if i get stones in my tyres it sounds like this. Have you checked for stones?

[Simon 1867]

Yeah checked for stones. I have disconnected the speedo cable from the gear box and the sounds isn't there. I have also tried it disconnected from the speedo and the sound had gone. Thing is it didn't do it before I replaced the speedo cable. New cable has a plastic end to it as a posed to a metal end which was on my original.

i get this, i thinks it just my pattern part cable but i just have my stereo up loud so dont hear it lol

[meritlover]

my stereo ticks to the sound of my distributor, so it doesnt help when i do that.

At least your speedo dosnt sound like your radio I suppose.

My click was on a digi dash so that ruled out the cable

Mine did this before the speedo cable broke at the clocks end.

perhaps its stones in your tyres or your radio then?

Radio was off and I unplugged the dash and the noise went, plugged back in noise was back

[meritlover]

sounds like the dash or a coincidence that you picked up another stone in the mean time.

Yawn, more meritlover dribble

I had this on my old MK1 when I'd pushed the cable too far into the clocks, also the route taken with the cable was too tight. As Jeff mentioned though I also only found this out after mine snapped... bloody things :roll:

Simon try taking it back out and re-route [one for meritlover there] lol

Edd, lighten up ;)

[Simon 1867]

The cable is brand new and have had it out to check its not split or anything. The cable isn't tight to the speedo, or at least I don't think it is.
