I consulted the haynes
and found this.....
on my passenger wheel.
it looks like some thing is missing. There is a cable at the wheel but nothing to connect it to the hub.
The wheels are emp 5's
Any ideas how to rectify this problem.
ps here a picture of our lass fixing my brakes.

... erm ... where's the grease cap?
There should be a metal cap over the centre of the hub that the cable goes through with a circlip to stop it falling out
(and some silicon mastik over that!)
Pics of them here

Rob helped me with a similar problem last week, you need the grease cap with the speedo hole:
grease cap. part no 251407691A vag cat only shows the one.so dont know if this is the one with the hole for the speedo.you will also need the small circlip that stops the speedo cable from slipping through the cap part no N 0124342
Hope this helps

you are probably right....however speed cameras make speedos (not the trunks) necessary.
