Wild Speedo over 95 mph

Hi,

 

Just logged onto this forum, its top bananna :D

 

Have one small problem with the '93 TT. When the speedo goes over 95 it drops back to 40ish and sits there quivering until the speed drops below 95 again.

 

I don't do this often (yeah, right :p ) but its annoying more than anything else, and I have to gusee my speed by RPM. I can just see it, I get pulled for speeding and the cop asks "do you know how fast you were going?"

"Yeah, about 4800 rpm officer!"

Well I would first take the dash apart and make sure the speedo has no loose plugs or anything and while you're at it check what speed conversion you have. Someone will be able to help probably with this knowledge :)

Resurection time:

 

Finally had the speedo out and fixed the problem. A loose wire that was hanging loose due to a poor crimp terminal.

 

Shocking quality work by the importer. The connector to the odometer had a 3.5mm female std spade connector pushed into a female bullet connector... and badly crimped wires too. Absolute pants!
