They all break, tachs too and tabs where cluster mounts to dash
No, not from speedo cable or pushing odo reset.
VW cut corners all over using cheap plastic, not using brass inserts
like all self-respecting car companies do.
And that monster of AC evaporator hanging in the back of your Vanagon
it's all held by cheap crumbling breaking plastic.Instead of good
engineering attaching evaporator to the roof and making cover for it.
How about power window switch bezels, they break while installing.
Total insanity.And those little lights above, crumbling...glovebox light
pos
Not just VW, VDO did "their part" with breaking plastic speedos,
meaningless fuel level gages etc
I pull engines and harness from Subaru Legacy and this car is built like
military yet.Need large sledge hummer to break things.Nothing ever breaks
and will last 100 years.Probably the safest and most reliable car i know
of.
My guess they cared about us(drivers)lot more than VW ever did
Not a rant, just reality
