Hi. Can someone tell me how the speedometer cable for a LHD Mk10 is routed? It looks like it comes from the trans angle drive, forward towards the bell housing and then turns back 180 degrees, passing into the cab through a largish grommeted hole just above the trans tunnel where it meets the firewall on the right along with other wires/vac hoses.
Once inside the car it can go pretty much anywhere on it’s way to the speedo - where is it supposed to be routed?
Ah… That’s interesting Micah. I was looking for another hole for it to enter the firewall but didn’t see it and since I didn’t take it apart it was a bit of a guess.
So it:s supposed to go into the engine compartment through the tunnel and then up over the left blower and then I’m assuming there’s a straight shot through a hole in the firewall behind the speedo?
This is how I routed mine, and how I found it. I have no P clips on top, and I don’t see how there could be, but I can’t swear as to what is original. I do have one P-clip below, but it is not original. Hope this helps.
I just realized that I don’t know what transmission you have. If you have a manual o/d, it would be a bit different. Same hole in the bulkhead, but routes across the front with 2 P-clips as shown on picture #158 of this current Mk10 Bat listing.
My car has a 700r4 in it and now I can’t honestly remember which side the BW8 and DG250 come off of, so that can affect routing. But the bulkhead hole is correct.
