UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi there, I'm new to this forum and noticed a little problem with my polo.

When the engine is switched on and the car is at rest, the speedo needle is about 5mm under 0 mph, this means that my car will be travelling faster than I can read

I will post a diagram to explain my problem, does anyone know of a way to get the needle back to 0 mph?

Cheers,

Tom

N.B. The blue line represents my speedo needle

Hi there mate, yea you pull on the circle ring, very gently and then it pops off, you will brake some plastic clips like i have done but it still fine, after that there is a plastic ring cover, remember where it was, then move the needle up a bit you will feel a difference.... if you want help give me a text

Please could you explain a little more? we were thinking it was the speed sensor at the gear box end and were going to take it to a local garage to get looked at. Did you have a similar problem? If so do you know what was causing it?

sorry for the late reply, i am new to here, no it happened to me because i was cleaning my dials and took them apart
