speedo randomly stops working!
« on: 23 April 2012, 07:35 »
Hi guys, my gti keeps having a speed fail, 95% of the time its fine, but occasionally it just doesn't work at all! If I pull over and turn the car off then start it again and drive off its fine again! Any ideas??

Sounds like it is dropping into limp mode, have you had it scanned for faults?

Edit

It's what you get for not reading the thread title properly  :grin:

Should I be looking to take the binnacle out and check that first?
