The car's speedometer hasnt been working for more than 2 years now.the car was submereged under water for 2 days last year when the floods happened.how do i make it work now? how much will be the total cost.thanks |
first get that power steering area clean of oil and all dirt.
check to see the reservoir is full if not top it up, with, start the engine - in idle - if you have some help ask him / her to steer all to left and then to right - do this 5 to 7 times - observe the steering hoses, below reservoir, near the pump and all joints on the steering system for any leak. after this can u make up a diagnosis.
ref speedometer, check whether its a cable system. if cable then most probably it will be the cable end on the transmission housing gear that has got stuck / damaged or the speed sensor.In my car (not lancer) it has a shaft gear to transmission connected via cable.
