WRX 1993 Import Problems
Hi, recently brought a 1993 import WRX. got 2 problems with it, the speedo does not read accurately, its fine when you first start but after you brake a few times it goes out of sync (eg speedo reading 30mph, actual speed 22mph) other problem is the fuel gauge is stuck at full so i never know how much is left in the tank. i took the needle off and set it back to empty but when i turned the engine back on it went all the way to full again and has been there since

get hold of a breakers mate and buy either the complete speedo (which i think you will have to do) or buy the parts you need.
I broke my rev gauge and fuel gauge putting bloody lockwoods on - never again had to buy speedo at £100 ish (cant remember - long time ago now!) Bought the plasma dials off a known auction place and they are great (bendy) and fit on piece of cake & look the dogs!
as for the miles reading i think you can get a certificate of the mileage chenge or just record it etc - not too sure on that either.

Hi Mike
Sounds to me like 2 seperate problems...
The speedo issue could be either a bad mph converter or cabling issue.
The fuel gauge could be the sender unit in the tank.
Obviously cant be sure without seeing it, but think this might be somewhere to look at.
