I have an '87 325IS and the infamous small gear broke in the odometer... so I went to od ometergears.com and got a whole new set. I replace them and it seemed to work perfectly before I put it back in the gauge cluster.
I put it in the car and it worked for .1-.2 miles and then stopped again... I took out the odometer and checked it - gears were great. Everything else works fine. After that, I ended up buying another used speedo with good gears... it worked fine for 4-5K miles and the gears broke (damn gears!). So.... I ended up putting my old one back in and it still only goes .1-.2 miles when I FIRST put the cluster back in. What the hell is going on?
Also, I have changed out a few different gas gauges - When I put one in, my "range" display on the OBC reads 80 miles left. Put the other gauge in and the display reads 40 miles left. (Second one is correct because I don't have much gas left....why does it do this!?)
Thanks!
