Philj 0 Posted March 12, 2009 Have a 1995 2.0l 16v, speedo doesnt work. We've changed the sender, made sure the wiring was plugged in. How common is it for a speedo unit itself to fail? The rev counter, fuel/temp guage etc works fine. Anyone got any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted March 12, 2009 Need to drop it into diagnostic mode and see if your getting the speed signal - maybe just a stuck needle on the clocks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted March 12, 2009 Smacked the top of the binnacle with the heel of your hand? Yeah I know sounds :cuckoo: but these things sometimes just need "appropriate" force! :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philj 0 Posted March 13, 2009 Had a quick look, put it on axle stands and drove, the senders sending its signal, we found the wire on the block at the back of the clocks and getting the same reading there as from the sender. So really the speedo unit itself needs to be replaced? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tekara 0 Posted March 16, 2009 If it helps I’ll be breaking a set of VR6 clocks soon, I just need the temp / fuel gauge. Mine requires a little persuasion to work every now and again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philj 0 Posted March 22, 2009 Changed the clocks and its the same, everything works except the speedo. We seem to be getting the signal at the back of the clocks as well. Anyone got any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
