Speedo Problems

ROB DOB · 06-09-2007, 22:55

I have a 1999 S Octavia glx dti 90 112,000 miles
for about a week now all the dials (speedo, tacho, temp and fuel) intermittently drop to zero. some days they work ok other days they are off and on.
I have followed another thread and tried removing various fuses as recommended but without success.

any ideas gratefully received

up until now the best car I have owned(5 years 60,000 miles)

Hi,

I have written much about this problem after having it my self. Please try typing in:-
instrument, and dials, and gauges, in to the 'search' box that you can click on to at the top of this screen.
Always do the most simple things first, when trying to fault the panel.

I hope that some of what I have written may be of help to you.

Regards

Soviet
