mileage trip

240 · Nov 23rd, 2010, 13:34

my mileage reads 197831, i reset the trip and have since done around 5 miles to and from the mot however it still reads the same mileage and the trip still says 0000 the speedeo and all lights work, anybody know what the problem is and how to fix it?

thanks

There is a plastic cog which drives it which will have broken. You will need to obtain a replacement. Dash out job but from memory pretty straightforward.

P.S. Only use the reset when the car is stationary

The cog will be peanuts. Maplins do one that fits 850's (they are prone to failure too

). I think those ones are about 8p lol.

Just as an aside.......... I take it you've pressed the trip again since noticing the fault?

I ask as sometimes I find on mine that if I do not press it all the way home it seems that the cogs do not align correctly & therefore nothing move's. A second press realigns things & off it goe's again

Thought it worth mentioning anyway

thanks paul

yes ive tried pressing again but nothing happens!! would you know if the cogs for the 240 can be bought from maplins? or what sizes id need to look for
looked at maplind site and nothing comes up for cog and theres loads of sections to hunt!!
thanks

Not sure if they are shown on Maplins site, I'd imagine it'd require a visit with the 'offending' cog to get a match.............

This place does them: http://www.odometergears.com/volvo.html

Mind you $25 for a bit of plastic!

There appears to be another 'how to' on that site too

i have been offered a free instrument cluster from an earlier 240 with mechanical speedo, would the cogs be the same? the speedo has a different k number and the other one has an r number,
cheers
