Hi

can anyone help???

speedo stoped working on my 2002 octavia vrs at the same time fuel gauge started to mess around and engine has become lumpy and holds back, all happened at same time! pluged laptop in and only fault found was speed sensor!! replaced speed sensor but still nothing have checked worm drive into gearbox and that is ok!!

what else could it be as im lost now!!!?:confused:

have found problem looks like drive gear in gearbox has broken or somthing as its not driving shaft to sensor!! has anybody else come across this before and whats the cheapest easy way to fix! any ideas im thinking it could be new gearbox but all the gears work fine!! HELP!!

Has the speedo drive fallen inside the box or can you pull it out?

Speedo drive is still there pulled it out gearbox and plastic gear is still on there, unles there are meant to be two gears im not sure just looks to be the one!!! just strange how metal one in gear box has gone and not damaged plastic one on the probe!!

I would have thought then that the drive in the gearbox which sits along side the diff has come loose and not being driven. Assuming the transducer ontop of the drive isnt broken or the wiring to it hasnt rotted out (which is fairly common).

Thats for that off to garage that deals in gearboxs to see what they say!!

thanks again. bloody cars

Did you ever get to the bottom of this problem as I am having exactly the same issue.

Thanks
