Proposition 65: This product may contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Not all cables are created equal! We have previously offered a considerably less-expensive cable, but it simply didn't go the distance. Despite the attractive price, cables found for less are likely the ones we no longer carry due to poor quality and short service life. This cable is guaranteed to be the best quality currently available on the market.
Features:
• Aftermarket part, with excellent OEM-level quality
• 2240mm cable length bypasses EGR/OXY mileage counter box*
• Fits 1983-91 LEFT HAND DRIVE 2WD (NON-SYNCRO) Vanagons with clip-on (as opposed to screw-on) speedometer cable.
Installation note: It is recommended that the circlip and grommet be replaced when swapping out your speedo cable.
*Note on the cable-driven EGR/OXY box: Many Vanagons up to around 1987 have a black box located mid-way on the speedometer cable. These vehicles were equipped with two cables: one from the front left wheel to the black box, another from the black box to the speedometer. The only purpose of the black box is to turn on the EGR/OXY "idiot light" in the dashboard every 30,000 miles. The light has nothing to do with either the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) or OXY (oxygen sensor) systems themselves; it simply turns on the light. This was a requirement for the vehicle to be sold in California. It is silly, and when it comes on, you have to crawl under your Vanagon and push a button on the black box (if it is not filled up with mud) to reset it and turn off the light. These boxes are known for filling up with water, seizing, and causing the speedometer cable(s) to break. The black box is very expensive and pretty useless. The cable we sell bypasses the black box, thereby deleting the 30K EGR/OXY "idiot light" system, but does not affect the function of either of the ACTUAL systems. When you install your new cable, you can either leave the box installed and plugged in or you can remove the box and seal up the wiring to prevent water ingress.
Fitment note: These speedometer cables require the small circlip for installation. Your current cable may already have that clip, in which case you can carry on per usual, but we strongly recommend purchasing a NEW one!
Installation Note: It is suggested to lube the cable prior to installation by spraying some high temp lubricant like HHS-K Spray Grease down the cable, through the sheath, to ensure proper operation of the cable.
Grommet Note: The cable may be assembled incorrectly when received. To fix the arrangement remove the grommet from the circlip end and pull the sheathings out and rearrange to the correct arrangement.
Reference numbers can be OE part numbers, superseded part numbers, and compatible part numbers. We provide this information to help ensure you're getting the right part for your needs.

You need it but in my case lasted about 3 years. Maybe I got one from a bad batch - I don't know. Goes right in but I guess your milage may vary.
M
Heavy duty feeling, seemed great on install. Figured it would last longer than the original. 2.5 years later, I’m back for another one. Completely fried at the hub end. Back then, I don’t recall GW recommending a lube that costs more than the part itself, but I’m pretty sure I shot something down there for good measure. VERY disappointed. I’d rather see a cable that comes pre-lubed for $10 more than spend another $42 on a can of lube that I’m sure is good, but should not be required to make it function properly. My advice is: if you don’t buy the Wurth, make sure to lube the everliving$hit out of it with something else you trust. It won’t last long without it.

Easy install and that squeaky noise while driving over 40 mph is finally gone!
C
I was without a working speedometer for way to long but finally go this replacement and the world is good again.
F
My cable snapped so I bought this one. Super easy to install the only issue i have now is my my speedometer needle isnt smooth. It bounces a little and I've tried fixing it but nothing seems to do the trick.
J
solid cable and sheath. grommet fits well.
J
Great original cable option
M
Ditch the box and hopefully any more kinks at the curve out of the back of the speedometer. Easy enough to install, stout cable and cleaner routing
B
A little bit of work, but works fine.
o
Good product !!!
J
Just what was needed...I hope. Maybe order the screw on JIC???
K
Super easy install
W
Had the gas tank out so seemed like a no brainer to replace this. Great quality as always with GW.
p
It seems to be what I needed, we’ll see how it holds up.
R
I use this for about six months, but finally upgraded to the GPS Speedometer and it’s amazing
J
Great Speedometer Cable !!!!!
It got here fast !!!
Easy Install with the instructions provided !!!
They always are very helpful
H
YAY! Now we have a Speedometer again
D
Be sure to spray with wurth spray in the tube
F
Make sure to check before buying, I just took a guess and I was wrong the first time. You can just take off the cover and just feel with your hand to see if it has the clip or not!
S
The cable was shorter than expected however with careful re-routing it was installed.
It is working properly at the moment.
Fingers are crossed that it continues to do so.
Great service thanks Simon
C
My original cable failed on a trip from CA to Oregon and back. I had purchased this cable and had no doubt it would solve the bounce problems I was having before the failure. The problem was the weird black box the original was plugged into. I searched the internet and the only place I could find any information was on good ol' Go Westy. Thank you for reaffirming what I suspected, and thank you for the quality of your products.
S
Speedometer cable, light bulbs and turn signal lenses delivered really quickly and the Westy is back on the road. Really good how-to directions too got me going with a minimum of fuss.
