Plug it in and see if it works?? That part number, 911 641 533 01 crosses over to a superseded part number, that cost $472.00
It looks kinda odd, the speeds on the face

Using a 12v battery and some test leads, put +12 on the + terminal, -12 on the - terminal and then alternate shorting and opening the 31b terminal to the - terminal using a third test lead or short length of wire. You'll have to do this rapidly to simulate the opening and closing of the reed switch at the 915 transmission sender. If you get some response from the Speedo needle, most likely the speedo works, but this isn't going to allow you to test how accurately it works.

Note that I'm posting this from memory of the terminal numbers, so I could be wrong.

Thank you very much
