Speedo stops and starts

[Arkhitekton]

If the rev counter and speedo die at the same time and the other gauges, fuel and temp still work it is the "Dance of Death", one needly will twitch whilst they are not working also.

This is a known fault and is a fried ecu chip. Only cure is a new or used cluster. $550 from VW or $150 from me respectively. Ks are stored on the speedo, so get one that is similar to your car, ks wise.

Golf Loon - I have the same issue and will PM you as I need to buy a cluster from you.
