(not sure what Joe was smoking when he put up his response - or am I missing something?)

It seems you have a R32. If so, it is likely the end that fits into the back of the speedo has sheared.

Has the odometer also stopped working?

yeah just pull out that dash assembly and you will see the speedo cable. It should have a plastic pin thing that sits on a spring that goes in that cable. Make sure the pin base (as the pin part itself moves freely) is pushed back but the pin is pulled out. You will understand what i am talking about when you see it. Use a small flathead screwdriver to push the base back and a small needlenose plier to pry out the pin. Carefully put the dash back in. DOnt put it all back together as you will want to go for a test drive to see if it moves otherwise you gotta take it all out again. Hope that helps.

what was wrong with my response?

in my experience, every time someones speedo has stopped it has ALWAYS been the speedo cable in the engine bay.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
