Cheepo 3rd Gear July 24, 2006 Share July 24, 2006 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. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugh Neutral Newbie July 25, 2006 Share July 25, 2006 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... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortress Clutched July 25, 2006 Share July 25, 2006 It is sounds like the speed regulator or speed sensor that died. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paffendorf Neutral Newbie July 25, 2006 Share July 25, 2006 (edited) Sppedometer and Odometer not working can be caused from the cable itself. It muz be broken..Pls check and replace on any accessories shop...not cheap though..but i dunno the price.. confirm broken.....or loose ...better check or replace..

Dualie Clutched July 25, 2006 Share July 25, 2006 It's probably a case of burn fuse. Look thru your car manual and locate and check the fuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortress Clutched April 5, 2008 Share April 5, 2008 Experiencing the same thing you did then, if you can share/confirmed with me the item that failed, the cost of replacement. Many thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheepo 3rd Gear April 11, 2008 Author Share April 11, 2008 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheepo 3rd Gear April 12, 2008 Author Share April 12, 2008 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
