Hey guys, my speed clock bounces up and down quite a bit when im below 60km/h and odo clocks over real slow or a bit fast sometimes. Anyone know what could be causing this?  Thanx

VW'n

I would start with.
Pulling the speedo cable out of the gearbox (one bolt, don't drop inside box.) and inspect the plastic drive wheel.
These often wear causing the problems you describe.
While you ate there spin the speedo cable with you fingers.
If this feels rough, notch or stiff then replace cable also.
If both these are good then the problem is likely up in the console.
