6n Polo Speedo Woes

[arge]

Hello.

I have had an annoying problem develop this morning. My speedo and rev counter on my polo stopped working completely. However the fuel and temp guage work fine. 

Odd thing is that the rev counter sits at 0 but kind of flickers up and down a tiny bit and continues to do so for 5 secs after engine is turned off.. Speedo stays at 0 regardless.

It's a 1996 1.4, older style dash cluster.

Any ideas pleeeeeease?!

I'm guessing the electronics have packed up or bad connections try taking out the pod and cleaning connections put it back.

Sounds like an earth fault.

As 120y says check the pod, i'd also check the main earths by the fuses as blocked drain channels can lead to damp ingress around these and cause all kinds of electril 'quirks'...
