My speedo died one day then the engine management light wud come on....then the car wud cut out.
It was a fuse that had blown!
So check them!
I found out it popped when i used the cigarette lighter in the car!!

t is because the cable has been routed wrong and the voltage stabilser at the back of the clocks doesnt get a reading and so confuses the ecu i think the cable has to go over or through the gear linkage cant mind which

yeah i had to replace the clocks on my GSI cos this happened, the routing of the cable is vital, i moved my cable an inch further back and the speedo was all bouncy and the cable squeeked, lol, took me ages to position it right so it was back to normal again
