VDO repair people are very aware of this and can fix it easily I had the same problem on My Ur-quattro, I was able to fix it with a drop of super glue, I simply glued the plastic gear to the shaft. It has worked for the last 8000 miles. This involves removing your instrument panel and then your speedometer. This can sometimes be a somewhat difficult job for anyone that does not have fingers like ET. Usually a lot of foul language is involved. Remember to be very carefull where you put that superglue! > > ***************************************************************************** hope this helps >Rod> > > *****************************************************************************
