Hi. I noticed a similar noise coming from that area a few miles before my speedo cable went. So could be that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong... I think the early 944s (pre 85 oval dash) have mechanical speedo cables from the offside right wheel hub (RHD car), whereas the later cars have an electrical link from a hall-effect sensor on the transaxle. A spare speedo cable is a VW part, I think - I remember it being quite cheap. Got garage to fit it though which wasn't so cheap... |

Almost correct apart from the speedo cable on early cars is located on the N/S hub on both Lhd/Rhd cars. |
