Unfortunately, it is not possible to determine the exact combination (vehicle model to gear variant) for every model; however, we have separate offers in our shop for the most common combinations. Buying a used speedometer might save you the cost of repair, but it carries the risk that the gear will break soon. Storage and cold temperatures are particularly damaging to the gears. If you have already disassembled the speedometer, we also recommend replacing the bulbs. These lose a noticeable amount of brightness over the years. They are available at any car dealership or auto parts store. Advantages: Our gears are injection-molded from high-quality thermoplastic: This ensures excellent dimensional accuracy and an involute tooth shape that runs particularly smoothly against the mating gear. If you disassemble the speedometer beforehand, please note that the speedometer needle shaft is very delicate. Grip the speedometer needle in the middle and turn it counterclockwise, pulling gently. Friction is all that holds the needle on the shaft. Brand Information: Partworks GmbH is a German company specializing in reverse engineering and the distribution of spare parts for Porsche.
