The odometer on my 87 Polo 1.3cl isn't working. Apparently its done 622000 miles and it counts 1 mile in every 5. But the speedo works fine, in fact it's very accurate.
Is the odometer or the cable broken?
Where to go for a replacement?
How to fit cheaply?
Cheers!!!

Answer - SPEEDY CABLES....The Mews, St Paul Street, Islington London. Tel 0207 226 9228. They've been going for years and years. Type their name in to Google on the net for more details. Anything to do with speedo's and gauges etc.

sounds like the odo itself is crooked. possibly a build-up of gunk from old age. Also (and I hate to say this) maybe someone sometime clocked it, and broke some crucial bits...

No its not clocked; I know the car... It had done 100-something thou when it was sold to a family friend, whose daughter used it for local, short journeys. The clock messed up at around 120k, 18 months ago, and my guess for current mileage is 135-140k. But thanks, I'll ring some numbers aswell.

If the clock stopped at 140k, why worry? The car isn't worth anything anyway.

But for owners of more valuable cars that was an excellent tip from KB. Many thanks.

It can't be the cable as the speedo is working properly. The odometer is simply a count of the revolutions of the disc that drives the speedometer.
My guess is a little plastic thingy has dropped of the edge of the "add one, carry one" mechanical calculator inside.
Just remember to change your cambelt every 10,000 miles now!
