Old Mercedes screeching speedometer

I had to listen to the "Mercedes Blender noise of Death" all the way to work this week. That noise come from the speedo cable and only happens when it's pretty cold out.

Had the exact same problem and same sound in my 89 200E W124, had to replace the entire cluster

It does. Not sure if it works. It's a Becker.

I drove a S2000 Honda with a leaking top at the windshield on the highway for half hr. I was about deaf for an hr after that from the wind whistle.

I'll check that for sure, thank you for the info.

This is what you've been missing! Those newer cars don't have fun little problems like this. It almost takes the fun out of having a car if it works right all the time like the newer ones do...

I drive like a machine, immune to anything.

yeah my 60 f100 does that to when its really cold but its much louder because its amplified through the metal dash.

I wish we had em out here.. There are a few things I want lol...The guy at both Junk yards told me they get very few in because people tend to rebuild them after wrecks since there like Lego Cars

I’ve got this problem . What’s the answer to repair ??

[TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

It's right outside. I took an enjoyable 2hr roundtrip to the junkyard today in it. There were a couple Vues there, need anything? LOL j/k

Must be that german engineering I've Ben missing out on

[dcsiner]

So what was the problem? Is it the speedometer head or the cable?

Hi, I have the same problem with my 67 Mercedes 250s. Do you know how to take the instrument cluster out?
