Did you see it work??? He might be talking about the rest of the stuff on it, like fuel guage, temp guage, etc....
Go and get it checked properly. at a VDO repair joint.

hi
i just fixed my odo today twice!

its usually the little gear on the side of the the speedo mine stoped this morning but luckily i know they f**k up and last time it stopped i went to the wreckers and pulled apart atleast 5 speedos and only got 3 sets of gears that were good..

anyway pulled my cluster out pulled the speedo apart and as usual there was 2 teeth missing on the gear .
i changed the gear put it back together went for a drive and 1.2 km down the road it stopped again...f**k!!!
so back home and changed it again ...

this time its all good.......

The OE speedo gears are crap. The guys at VDO make replacement ones that are far better. This problem has been around since the XD.
