[MBZ] Odometer Noise. Lube?
The odo on my 300SD died. Inspection revealed the gears were gone, as many others have experienced. Replaced the gears as discussed on this list. It works now but I have a speed dependent click/wherr noise. I think there is a sort of stepper motor that drives the odometer gears in this electronic speedometer. Question: Is there supposed to be some kind of lubricant in the odo gears to keep them quiet? Thanks.

I had the same problem in my '83. I used the sunroof lube that Rusty so kindly sent me. Works wonders!

Luther: Thanks for the tip. I'll try it as soon as I find my sunroof lube. Things are still a bit disorganized after moving. Scott I had the same problem in my '83.
