Richy B Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Good afternoon all, on behalf of a driver at work I'm looking for some advice please ? The vehicle is a 300 tdi gap import auto box on a P reg, In short the speedo has stopped, apparently it intermittantly cut out a few weeks ago on a run but has been ok ( up until yesterday) all other gauges are ok, looking through the book of lies I understand it has a sender of the transfer box and no speedo cable as such ? Just wondering to change the sender or get a new speedo cluster jobby ? Would be a shame to just change the speedo as it's a really low mileage car and is being sold in march, any clues or tests, tips please ?? Looks "easy enough " to change the sender ?.. Cheers for now , Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco_al Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 it's more than likely the electrical speedo drive on the box itself, usually around the £50 ish mark, and a bit of a tw*t to change as it's between the transfer box and gearbox iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Might also be wiring from the sender, I'd check that before replacing bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UkFoxy Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Right budding disco sparkies...you'll love this one! My speedo also packed in & i've changed the connectors to the sensor checked the voltage (or lack of )...BUT i no nothing! Then I noticed my reversing lights had also given up the ghost..So I traced the reversing wires back to the sensor, checked for continuity between the two wires & they are shorted out somewhere. but the wires are still disconnected as the wires have my DVM plugged into them to check the voltage. I looked in dismay as the reversing lights were working!?!?...How does that work??? So with the reversing lights connector disconnected I drove up the road & low & behold the speedo decided to work! So now I have a working speedo AND working revesing lights even with the two wires that feed the wiring sensor UNPLUGGED!!!!.....WORK THAT ONE OUT!!! AND before you come on here saying oh you must have unplugged the wrong sensor.....It was definitely the right two sensors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
