My 1995 124 280 masterpiece mileage/trip meter is not working. Can recommend any workshop that knows how to repair? i stay in KL

If the Trip Odometer is not working, there is a highly chance that the Total Odometer will not work as it is connected with each other. This is based on my own experience with Mabellina.

Your solution is to get a 2nd hand speedometer. Cost me RM 430 to get the whole speedometer replace.

One more tips is for all classic like W124, don’t play too much with your trip odometer unless you really have too as this is all about managing your aging vehicles

My apology guys for not keeping in touch. I shall call up Ah Meng (City Cycle) to check it out and keep everyone informed

I repaired my W124 260E odometer using this technique in this YouTube video. It's been more than a year now and it's still spinning. Maybe you can give this a try.

I was lucky my drive gear inside the speedo head had moved across the shaft and in doing so the gear was not lined up, and in mesh with the other gears .You will need to remove the speedo head from the console to work on it .
A rough file was used on the shaft to get the super glue to stick both shaft and pot gear and stop it moving again .Its still ok after 4 years .Dont in any circumstances zero the trip counter on the move this is why they stop working. I found all information on how to do the job from DIESEL MAN google search for this its very helpfull.
