Hi I'm adding this reply as I had the same problem and resolved it so if anyone is searching the posts for an answer this my help!

I had a problem with a gear monitoring fault on my 1.9 tdi 2002 auto which was listed as a possible fault with the gear position switch, gearbox oil level or the speed sensor in the geaebox (gulp!). I decided to buy a secondhand loom for the automatic gearbox (it goes from the control unit to the box and connects to the gear position switch as well) as the plug to the gear position switch had been broken when I had the gearbox reconned.

Now to the interesting bit! It was a secondhand on of fleebay and when fitted the speedo didn't work and the fuel gauge was erratic (also the take up of drive pulling away was sharp!) reasoning that the new loom must be the reason for the fault I took it back off and spliced the gear position switch plug into the old harness. After refitting the old harness it all now works!

S if it's an auto and you've got no speedo and the rev counters erratic try a different loom!

 

Best wishes and I hope this helps someone!

if there is a smell of burning or melting plastic in the cabin, then the loom is in meltdown.

sometimes it can start with the clock not working, then the interior lights, spreading to the speedo.

this is a really expensive fault, and can easily right the car off.

the main thing to remember is that the correct fuse ratings are used, some owners simply put in a higher amp fuse-WRONG!

all the best
