I have a 1.4 petrol Golf that the speedo has stopped working on.

I believe the speedo is driven by a sensor on the back of the gearbox.

The clutch was replaced a while ago, and the speedo wasn't working when I got it back. I took the car back, they fiddled with the wire, and it was working again.

I drove it for a few weeks, and sometime during that time, the speedo would occasionally drop to 0 mph. Then it stopped working altogether.

I thought it was related to the clutch change - perhaps the sensor was damaged in the work, but I took it back to your man, and he put a spare sensor in, and it didn't change the situation. I suppose he could have given me a dodgy spare sensor?

Do the speedos go bad in these cars, or is it almost 100% likely to be a dodgy sensor????

I have the NCT tomorrow morning, so looks like I will be rescheduling...

many thanks in advance.
