Astra F '97 Speedometer Cable Location: How to Access & Remove for 1.4 8-valve 60HP Sedan

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

Where is the speedometer cable on a 1997 Astra F 1.4 8V sedan and how do I disconnect it so the instrument cluster can be removed?

The Astra F uses a cable drive, and the cable goes down to the gearbox below the gear selector, so that is where you look for it under the hood [#16356936][#16357260] If your goal is only to replace the instrument backlight bulbs, you do not need to remove the whole cluster or disconnect the cable first [#16357052] The bulbs are in holders around the meter faces and can be removed by twisting the holder with pliers [#16357052]

    Hello. I wanted to change the speedometer line. I have already disassembled all the screws at the meter, etc. It only stays on the cord and 2 cubes with wires. I wanted to unscrew the line so that it loosened a little and then the speedometer came out nicely, but I don't know where this line is under the hood and where to unscrew it? 1.4 8 valve 60HP engine, year 97 in the sedan.

    as there is a cable drive, the cable goes to the gearbox below the gear selector. So it falls down vertically

    on the basis of these photos it appears that in this car the meter drive is electric to the left wheel to the hub. Are you sure you unfastened the cable from the clocks. If you unfastened it, ask someone and pull it towards you and it will be visible in the engine compartment. Repairing this may involve replacing the wheel hub

    if you want to replace the meter backlight bulbs, you do not need to disassemble it. Each bulb is best to turn the holder with pliers and you have it in your hand. The backlight is around the meters and in the line you have bulbs with indicators

    You need to disassemble the steering wheel, not otherwise, by removing the cover and then the counter, and to do this, you need to disconnect the minus clamp from the battery and wait for a minute, unscrew the torx screws from the heart airbag, disconnect everything and unscrew the nut and then remove it from the spline with right-left movements .
