Hello all,
Sorry for the repost but I would like for more people to see this than just the VW lot.

Thanks again


I currently have a 1999 VW Passat VR6 and two nights ago we had a lot of rain and the roads were soaked and had large puddles everywhere. On the drive home trying to avoid as many of them as I could the car cut out briefly and I bump started it as I will still moving. Everything was fine but the speedo stopped working.

I pulled over and turned the car off and on and it still does not work.

At first I though the wire had just gotten wet but the next day it still would not work.

I take it the speedo is pulled into the gearbox and if so can this have just come loose? Any help would be gratefully received including where I should look first and what I should be looking for.

Thanks again

Andy
