Replacement
1. Disconnect the wire "masses" from the battery.
2. Remove the instrument panel (see chapter "electrical equipment") and squeeze together the two tabs on both sides of the cable connector on the back of the instrument panel (shown by arrows in fig. R:25). Disconnect the cable from the speedometer.
3. Trace the speedometer cable to the transmission (see chapter "Clutch and manual transmission"), remove the screw securing the speedometer drive and pull the cable out of the gearbox.
4. Carefully pull the cable out of the bulkhead and dashboard.
5. Installation of the cable is carried out in the reverse order.
The cable must not have kinks or obstacles in its path. On Scirocco models, the cable is secured under the dashboard with a plastic clip.
