Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (FE/AT): digi dash in progress

Are you talking about the male end coming from the dash cup housing? If so, you need to replace the speedo cable housing from the dash down. I dunno if you can feed a cable thru the sheath or not... STIG !!!!! :hehe

If I remember correctly, it is still the mechanical type speedo cable... should be able to use any spare from a junkyard.... :thumbsup:

 

Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (FE/AT): digi dash in progress

Dunno what you mean? I had a cable not working once because it came out of the green cable
holder and wouldn't go back in properly. (cable was too deep)

I think you got to look closely at the cable holder and get the cable to sit out properly. From memory
there was an o-ring or washer inside that moved and the green part wasn't going all the way in?
The green part is spring loaded and can get stuck sometimes which stops the cable from engaging properly

The white outer holder has 2 tabs you gotta squeeze and then pull it forward to work on the green spring loaded part




Unclip it like in the bottom pic, see if the green section is moving properly.
From memory the cable doesn't come out but you can unclip the green cup
and fix what's stopping it or move the o-ring back on the cable

Steve it was an option for all except the GT4, at that time it was expensive and not
many opted for the futuristic look.
Opel/Vauxhall Kadett GSI 2.0 had the same option and a similar (identical?) display

My post completed
You broke the cable? or did it move back into the holder?
pics? I think you just pushed the cable into the sheath like I did

 

Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (FE/AT): digi dash in progress

Well then you got to replace the upper cable
Good time to take the whole thing out (inc drive gear) and lube it properly.

Try unscrewing the cable and see if the cable pulls out from the gearbox end
Cable is in two pieces but you may have to pull it out the box if the connector is rusted

This pic shows the bottom section of the cable

 

Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (FE/AT): digi dash in progress

cant you switch just the upper half? i know i have done that when i did the swap.

 

Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (FE/AT): digi dash in progress

Lucky, some are hard to seperate
Did the cable pull out from the bottom?
Check/lube the lower section as well, the section that drives the cable is bound to be rusted
What colour is the speedo drive gear?

Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (FE/AT): digi dash fully functioning!

Also the guys need to know what the resistance is on the sender when it's full
and empty

Good to see you back, check out http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=690000841#!/home.php?sk=group_224955217530216&ap=1

 

Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (FE/AT): digi dash fully functioning!

Yep its very hard to see how fast your going on a sunny day, the dash looks cool at night though, quite bright i guess.

So you want me to measure the resistance over the fuel sender when the petrol tank is full and empty right? How do I do this?
