  Q: How does the correct fitting of the speedometer cable impact the functionality of the Instrument Cluster on Volvo 242?

  A:

  It is most important that the speedometer cable is correctly fitted for the speedometer to function without trouble and that the cable is not bent too sharply, bending radius of minimum 4 inches (100 mm) to avoid vibration and noises in the speedometer. The drive couplings have to run true in the outer casing of the cable. Fitting the cable is not a difficult task, it is recommended to start from the speedometer end as this is the cleanest way. When fitting the old cable with the new one, withdraw the old cable. If a speedometer develops a fault, it should be replaced because faulty operation is usually related to a wear that cannot be made up for by adjustment.
