Speedometer Problem

[Essex]

Wonder if anyone has encountered this.

 

Was driving along on the motorway and noticed my speedometer (needle) appearing to be stuck at 90mph although l was not doing that speed. Stopped for fuel at the services needle went to zero however when starting the car up l noticed that the speedometer actually went anti-clockwise straight to 90 and didn't move no matter how fast or slow l went.

 

You help and advice if very much welcome

 

Thankyou

What kind of car do you have? i.e. Make, model, year, fuel etc etc

Assuming you have a 2.8 petrol, you can test the instrument panel via VAG-COM, I tested mine the other day, it was quite amusing watching the speedo go from 0-150mph in approx 3 seconds lol, you can also recalibrate all the dials on the instrument panel via VAG-COM.

 

But if you've not got a VW based engine VAG-COM is no good to you
