C5 Hdi 2.0 - Speedometer Not Working

[omega]

Hi All

 

Bought a C5 (2003) recently. The Speedometer worked occasionally but recently it has not worked at all. When it worked it appeared accurate. The miles clockup ok - car has done 110k.

 

Has anybody any idea what the problem might be and the best way to resolve it.

Welcome to the forum.

One thing to beware of, if you replace the instrument panel with one from another car, the mileage will go to the highest of the 2 cars.

Hi,

I had the same problem in March 2007 - had to replace the whole intrument cluster at a cost of £220 + Labour.

Fixed the problem but quite costly!

I did look at sourcing a second hand one, but as was already said, be careful - the second hand unit might not work anyway and if it has higher mileage, this will be used.
