PLEASE CHECK THE TOOTH COUNT BEFORE BUY !

Due to the fact that cars with these odometers are often already several years old and their history

is often unknown to find out what model is installed in your car,

the only way is to disassemble the odometer, and remove the gear and check the dimensions and number of teeth.

NO NEGATIVE FEEDBACK IF YOU DIDN'T CHECK THE TOOTH COUNT!!!

If your vehicle's odometer/daily mileage counter has broken down, the cause is usually the wheels shown in the picture. Most often, one of the gears breaks down and the drive stops working.

We recommend replacing three wheels because after replacing one damaged wheel, the adjacent wheel will soon break down. Replacing the complete set of wheels guarantees that the drive will work properly for a long time.

Important:

1. First, determine whether you have a VDO or MotoMeter drive installed. To do this, remove the instrument panel from the dashboard and check the nameplates on the back.

2. The number of teeth on each gear wheel varies depending on the model. This depends on many factors (wheel size, gearbox type, engine type, year of manufacture, etc.). It is not possible to determine which wheels are in your counter based on the car model. We kindly ask you to determine the number of teeth on the gear wheels and compare them with the described variants.

Note:

In these odometers, first gear (drive) is always 12 toothed, while the second (black) gear is 48x12 toothed.

Third (yellow or amber) gear can have several tooth counts.

If your gear is broken so badly you can't count its teeth,

you can still identify it by counting teeth on the next (meshing) gear.

- 39 tooth = kit 12 + 48x12 + 48x21 tooth
- 41 tooth = kit 12 + 48x12 + 48x19 tooth
- 42 tooth = kit 12 + 48x12 + 48x18 tooth
- 43 tooth = kit 12 + 48x12 + 48x17 tooth
- 44 tooth = kit 12 + 48x12 + 48x16 tooth
- 46 tooth = kit 12 + 48x12 + 48x14 tooth
- 47 tooth = kit 12 + 48x12 + 48x13 tooth
- 48 tooth = kit 12 + 48x12 + 48x12 tooth

You can all find some of these combinations in my store!

Quality:

The involute geometry of the teeth is preserved: this is the only way to ensure low sliding friction of the side surfaces of the teeth during gear operation.

The material used ensures low friction and does not require lubrication.
