Any idea what died ?

 

BOth the speedometer and odometer stopped working. So now I drive without knowing the speed. And mileage stays the same forever.

 

My car is a Mk4 Golf.

 

Thanks for any enlightenment from gurus.

Take it for a check-up. Could be something as simple as a disconnected wire to the instrument cluster or something more major like a spoilt speed sensor...

Sppedometer and Odometer not working can be caused from the cable itself.

Experiencing the same thing you did then, if you can share/confirmed with me the item that failed, the cost of replacement. Many thanks.

Hi it was indeed some loss of contact to the speed sensor. Does not affect the operation of the car but just don't know how fast one is driving. Cannot remember the cost of repair now because it was billed together with some other maintenance work. Not much, I vaguely remember.

Hi Fortress, sorry I forgot to mention that at that time I was living in London. I am now back in Singapore but drives a Toyota - so I am not familiar with VW mechanics here. Apologies.
