(T) Urgent Speedometer cable help please

Sonic2 · 28-01-2006

I need a new speedometer cable for my n reg Cinq sporting. (Has been a clicking noise coming from the dash for ages now the speedos dead so pretty sure its that).

Do the non sporting models use the same cable as i'll probably go up to the scrappys and pick another one up.

Cheers all!

Sonic2 · 28-01-2006

was hoping to try and get one later today if anyone can help

looking at Eper, i've no idea - there is around 20 million codes for them.

Looking on shop4parts, there are two listed. One for the 899 and one for the sporting. Different codes, and different prices so i'm gonna go with nope they're not the same

Sonic2 · 28-01-2006

Had a feeling they would be different for some reason so i'll go with your answer too,cheers

Going to take the old one off too and see if theres anything similar at the scrappys

custard · 28-01-2006

i nkow theres at least 2 for the sporting as i replaced mine recently.if you cant undo it from the top of the g/box , its easiest to access it by taking off the drivers wheel then you can get right at it. ps its about £20 from fiat!!!!!

Sonic2 · 28-01-2006

Ooh,cheers again,£20 blimey that sounds far too cheap for fiat,lol

Is it one piece? only mine kept coming apart? good old insulation tape

custard · 28-01-2006

its in one piece,its a fairly neat fit coming through the bulkhead as i found when i tried to pass it past my amp main power cable lol.
as i said it easy to access from the drivers side,i had the wheel of to do the lower suspension arms anyway.

Sonic2 · 28-01-2006

Right,cheers

I only asked as mine has a what can only be described as a white lump in the middle that kept coming apart

Obviously I wont know until the old ones off but the ticking noise had been driving me mad! So im hoping that something just snapped up off the cable up where the speedo is hence it all stopped working

We'll find out soon just got to get out the office in another 5 minutes and get to my parents for some tools

custard · 28-01-2006

theres no white section in mine,just a cable with the 2 ends

Sonic2 · 28-01-2006

random! well I guess i'll just have to see what happens when I get the old one off and present it to the fiat garage! Think their face will be

whats that?!

custard · 28-01-2006

just call with your chassis number and they can oder in(they wont have it

the right cable

rallycinq · 28-01-2006

If its a two part cable, identify which end the problem is and only buy that bit.

Cheers

Well,I though id have a crack at it saturday,took off dashboard,eliminated the dial and upper part of the cable as if I take the inside of the speedo cable and put it into the dash it turns the dial,so that leaves the lower part of the cable and the gearbox cog....

But the lower cables already been replaced once! So its back to the garage to tell them replace it foc or my gearbox cog is fubared...

Nice

I'll be glad im getting a new car!

arc · 30-01-2006

if its the gearbox drive thats gone tits up, it's not quite as cheap to sort out.

Sonic2 · 30-01-2006

oh another thing, the engine and box is not the original (done 93k now) so the chassis number wont help me.

Big up the fiat reliability!
