[diesel_mercedes] Speedo Repair Or PAP Junkyards

 

That's an electronic one , correct ? .

Most Pick-A-Part yards now offer an additional paid for warranty but it's only good for 30 days IIRC so you'll have to go yank one  out and install it straightaway then drive it to check , then remove it again the next day if bad....

Once you've removed the binnacle once or twice  it's a five minute or less job.....

To help make it easier to select the correct speedo head , Mercedes had VDO put the part # on the face of it where at a glace you can see if it's the right one or move on to the next junked W-126..... other gauges might be different but the speedo head proper may well interchange , I know it does in W-123's .

You can try Don @ Speedy Speedometer Service in......?Donwey? tell him I sent you but it'll be over $100 in any case , prolly upwards of $150 , you can ask him for a $ break before he begins because it's just an old car , he knows I'm a tightwad and some times declines my jobs so no harm in asking .

I have no idea how so many of you can stand having an unworking odometer .

still looking for a working odometer for Syliva ('84 300 SD / 126) - the irony of being in a junkyard is there's simply no way to know whether it works or not - just have to hope for the best…going to look on eBay…I have been referred to 2 shops in CA - one in Palo Alto and one in LA, best estimate for a rebuild with mileage set to my spec is north of $200…I've tried calling the place that makes the replacement gears a few times, no answer, no call back - can't tell from their site what parts/pieces I might actually need and they are also very expensive (relatively speaking)….
