This is my first ever post on a forum so be gentle..
I purchased an A2 TDi on a 54 plate a few weeks ago, but the speedo has packed in. I've had a route around on here but cannot find an answer hence my first post, i'd appreciate some help.
There are a number of warning light on on the dashboard, ABS, picture of an engine block, and one with a circular arrow (all yellow in colour). When i set off an alarm goes off and then I get a flashing ! which continues to flash.
The rev counter, clock and fuel guage work, the temperature guage works most of the time but sometimes doesn't.
I don't know if its related but the climate control seems to work intermitently, typically usually doing the opposite to what you want But is no biggy.
From what i've read on here, i understand the later cars might use an ABS sensor for the speed. How do i know if mine is one of those and which sensor is it?
I'm wary of just taking to a garage for them to to charge me a fortune to plug it into their computer and then tell me it could be a whole variety of things. Besides I was made redundant 3 weeks ago, i have a new job but won't get paid for a little while and funds are very tight. If anyone has had a similar problem and knows a solution that would be great. It'd be great to know what speed i'm doing through the average speed cameras on the way to work ;-)
Thanks in advance..
