How do I reset my odometer (mileage)

Hi all,

Having almost finished my project, I would like to reset my clocks so that they coincide with my rebuilt engines mileage.

Not being dodgy or anything, as I'll take pics of the existing clocks and write it in the service history schedule book.

Currently using mk2 golf gti clocks.

Do they just wind forward/backwards with a drill or screwdriver?????

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

they will wind back but it will take you a life time

needs taking to bit a reseting

i've done it a few times

take clocks to bits, take speedo out

on the back you will see a metal shaft with gear cog's on

cut the shaft

reverse the numbers

replace cogs with a new bit of wire/shaft

sorted

i might be able to do a bit of a how to for you at the weekend

That'd be great Jelly! Thanks!

Sounds like a mission?

When you say 'a lifetime to roll them back'…in time for the AGM???

thats using a drill

i'll try and get some pictures at the weekend mate

far easier than that, and no need to trash anything! take speedo out then get 2 small screwdrivers/pics/pokey implements.

look down the top and you'll see the gears that move the numbers and the wee tags on the numbers they push against. simply push the gear 1 way, and the number the other way and use the tags to gently click the numbers round till the desired milage is reached

Thanks John,

That's sounds a bit more straight forward.

I'll give it a go.

Cheers!

All sorted today guys!

Took speedo out.

Turned the cogs one by one using a piece of stiff wire. They were quite tough to turn but they clicked around bit by bit.

Now zero miles! Well…nearly zero.



Thanks for everyones input.
