Some drivers need to artificially increase the speedometer readings. This may be necessary if it malfunctions. But as a last resort, you can wind up the speedometer yourself. And then, as soon as possible, contact a service station to eliminate the malfunction.
Necessary
- - drill or screwdriver;
- - keys set;
- - screwdriver.
Instructions
Step 1
Unscrew the nut that connects the drive on the gearbox to the speedometer cable. Then you need to disconnect and pull this cable of the speedometer. Use a pair of pliers and gently loosen the nut if you find it is tight.
Step 2
After that, connect an electric drill, which should have a receiver and a rubber tip, to the speedometer cable. To make the connection, connect the first end of your adapter to the drill chuck and slide the other end over the cable end.
Step 3
After that, connect the drill to the network and select the direction of rotation that you need to reel in. If you are using a cordless screwdriver and not a drill, you also need to select the correct direction of rotation and turn on the screwdriver.
Step 4
Keep an eye on the mileage counter as the drill rotates. When the readings you need appear in front of you, disconnect the drill or screwdriver from the speedometer cable, after which you need to remove the adapter and insert the end of the cable into the box with the gearbox responsible for the speed. Tighten the nut connecting the gearbox to the cable.
Step 5
Use this method if your VAZ is equipped with an electronic speedometer. In this case, remove the unit from the instrument panel, and then disconnect the speedometer from the panel. After that, detach the bracket, which is designed to fix and secure the electrical wire of your speedometer. Carrying out these actions, it will not be difficult to get the motor.
Step 6
Take a flat-blade screwdriver and use it to turn the gears on the speedometer counter to where the mileage reading will increase. Once the meter reaches the desired readings, stop and return it to its place, securing it with a bracket. Connect the instrument cluster panel to the speedometer body, and then secure them.
