Erratic speedo and loud noise
after a bit of advise. My mk1, 1991, gti cab makes this loud noise and the speedo goes nuts when (norm in the morning - cold?) I go over 60 - 70. The speedo then jumps between 90 - 110 and the noise is loud and constent. Then as slow the noise gradually fades and when i get to 20- the noise stops and the speedo returns to normal. Anyone any ideas? - speedo drive? - if so is this a 'big' job.
Has anyone else experienced this? Cheers

Reach up behind the instruments, you might need to unscrew the trays to get to it. I am afraid I can't remember how easy it is to reach on the newer dashes, It's so simple on the early ones.
The speedo cable screws in behind clocks in the same place as the centre of the speedo dial.
It's a normal screw fitting.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
