Speedometer quit working

I did a quick google search and I think this is what you're looking for. They have an image of the heat shield it's under http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3752768 When you find it, make sure the connector is secure and there's no corrosion on the pins. You can trace the wires back to the ground and harness. Inspect the ground and also make sure the wires are not chafed. hope this helps! When I started working on my own cars, I got manuals for all of them, they are a great investment! Bentley Publishers are pretty well known for their repair manuals for European cars
