Hey guys,

 

1st) didnt find anything via search ;)

 

If i reach about 40mph / 60-80kmh my speedo stucks on this position until:

a: I Drive MUCH faster (about 160 kmh)

b: I Stop the car.

 

What could be the reason for that?

Knackered Speedo? Mine died last year and I had to replace the whole lot.

 

It started with the Rev needle flipping out occasionally, and the the actual Speedo started acting random.... and then it all died.

 

....or a loose connection? but I'm guessing you've checked that?

Mine did this just after I got the car. Fresh import so had a new speedo face put on to convert it to MPH. It wasnt stuck down too well so the needle got stuck on the card where it was raised slightly. I ended up taking the card off and adding a small drop of super glue to keep it from lifting off the dial, but then I had the fun of putting the needle back on in the correct place. You might be able to stick it down without needing to take the needle off though, it just means removing the instrument cluster from the dash.

Would be cool if some1 could move the Topic to Technical etc. ;)

 

Hm i dont think its caused by lose connections. Looks more like a technical problem. Mayb 2 much drag/resistance
