After reading through the first 26 pages of threads here and not finding exactly what I was looking for, lets try my own thread. (If it was on a page after 26 I am sorry for double posting.)
The problem I have is that a recently purchased Jetta doesn't add up the miles. The speedometer, tachometer and all other dash indicators seem to work fine. I tried to get to the back of the cluster and kinda broke the radio somehow. The little ribbon cable from the faceplate of the radio to the chassis of it is pulled out causing none of the number buttons to work.
Now for the questions. What is the best way to get behind the instrument cluster (I found only the 2 screws above the gauges and the 3 behind the AC/heat control before I stopped so I didn't break any more.)? Less importantly is my broken cable in the radio repairable or should I just accelerate the replacement that I already had in mind? If anyone happens to be familiar with Pennsylvania inspection rules, do I have to have this odometer issue fixed for inspection?
Thanks for helping.
