Corsa speedo not working
Not sure if I should of posted this in the off topic as its non BMW - mods please move if it's an issue!
Speedo stopped working on the little corsa - just the speedometer - rev counter, fuel gage etc all still working fine. Any ideas? I part took the dask apart and removed the dials cluster to look for loose wire - but it's a multiple pin connector and all wires seemed fine. Took front near side wheel off and had a look at the sensor, had some grime around it, used some Cotten buds to remove largest bits of grime but it didn't look too bad really- didn't fix it It's not dead, dead, as sometimes going over a bump the speedo springs into life, then dies again? Sound like a wiring problem? Wiring problem sounds tricky to locate and therefor expensive to fix? Not sure what to do really, apparently the mechanics as Vauxhall won't speak to you unless you pay for an inspection? |

Burn it
Just kidding, depending on the price I would try changing the speed sensor on the gearbox. I had the same problem on a Peugeot and it was great when it failed coming up to a speed camera. The wiring is normally well protected and it would be a right ballache trying to find out where the issue is. |

The only thing I can help you with is that you are right about Vauxhall charging you for and inspection.
Take it to an indy |
