My guess would be the grease getting hard due to cold temps. I would use caution if spraying from behind or thru bulb access areas, cuz your going to make a big o'mess!

Since getting access to the speedometer's backside is a PITA in my car (lots of siren relays, cables, flashers, etc., ahead of it) I'm trying to see what I'm in for. The whine increases in frequency and loudness with increasing speed, and drops to silent when I'm under, say, about 5 mph. Is it probably a (a) cable problem, requiring replacement of the cable, (b) cable housing problem (maybe a little lubricant squirted down the cable jacket?), or (c) a problem inside the speedometer itself (a Euro km/h unit)? Any advice before I begin digging? Bert Knupp PS - I've set up a FaceBook page for the Copbug itself. You can check it out under "Copbug Polizeikäfer" and browse through the photo albums. I'm not accepting "Friends" for it so I can control what gets posted. bk __n|_ °(_____)º (ô\_|_/ô) U° °U Polizeikäfer '70 _______________________________________________ vintagvw site list [email protected] http://lists.sjsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vintagvw _______________________________________________ vintagvw site list [email protected] http://lists.sjsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vintagvw
