Technical Speedo fault

[JimCuthb64]

Hi,

I have an 08 plate Fiat Ducato 2.3 TD. Motor home. The Speedo appears to be stuck on 29mph.... (Honest officer I wasnt speeding.... look.....lol)

I took it for a run... the milage is working... so that part still records..??


Anyone had any experience of this??

Im guessing as the milage still records, it's not a good old fashioned cable....


Any advice would be apreciated.....

An "08" plate is a bit vague for positive model identification. The vehivle is most probably a 2.3 Multijet, but could be a very late conversion / registration x244 2.3jtd. Check whether VIN starts ZFA244, or ZFA250.

Have you considered the possibility of a stuck stepping motor spindle. (See guides section.) Alternatively there is a company called "Cartronix" who carry out such repairs.

I seem to remember a recent post similar to yours, so perhaps a forum search?

Cartronix. Their website locates them at Waterlooville, which is north of Portsmouth.

Why? I expect that a large proportion of their business is by post.

Also here is the possibility of DIY. See "Sticky Needle Repair" by @Anthony489 in guides section. As recent you will still find it in RHS column on Ducato page.
