Speedo Transducer - Home Job?

[Spluffy]

Hi

Has anyone replaced their speedo transducer themselves? If so is it a hard job at home? Do you need any special tools?

Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

Happy Christmas to all.

Thanks Alan

I'll get one on order and get cracking.

Thanks Glow Worm

Thought I'd give reducing the gap a try before shelling out £100.

Done and tested, now works perfectly. Saved myself £100 and all the diagnostic codes have stopped popping up.

THANKS AGAIN

It's ok I'm a novice too.

1. Jack the car up. I used a trolley jack to jack up the full rear of the car.

2. Remove nearside rear wheel.

3. Ensure car is completley safe and thet there is no possibility of movement or accidental lowering. - Very important as you do need to reach right under the car. If a t all unsure - take it to a garage with ramps.

4. Locate the speedo transducer. To the right of the toothed drive shaft.

5. The transducer hs a 17mm nut on both the left and right side. Loosen the left side then adjust the gap by loosenng the right nut.

6. Tighten the left hand nut and then check the gap. Should be 2mm. If you're not happy with the gap repeat the process.

7. I also took the oportunity to clean the sensor with WD40 and a piece of cardboard that fitted tightly in the gap. (there was a lot of dirt which could have been he problem).

Best of luck.
