How To Restore a VW Speedometer

Today we show how to restore a vintage Air-Cooled VW Beetle Speedometer. We take apart the old VDO VW Speedo and rebuild it to like new condition. Most other VW speedometers are very similar, so this should cover a large number of them. This project required patience, attention, and a few unexpected steps. Learn the step-by-step process for a full VW speedometer rebuild, including careful disassembly, inspection, deep cleaning of all components, painting the needle, restoring the bezel, and the tricky process of zeroing out the odometer (rolling back the mileage to match your engine rebuild). This guide is perfect for anyone restoring a Vintage VW Speedometer on a classic Air-Cooled VW like a Beetle, Bus, or Ghia or Thing.
