I have a 95 jetta III gl 2.0L 5spd that i just bought a few days ago and the speedometer and odometer work off and on (mostly off) the tach works fine no problems but i was wondering if anyone knew what the problem might be and how to fix it this is my first VW so i might need some tips on where parts are located. thanks James

 

now iam also smelling gas in my oil if anyone knows anything about this be much appreciated

 

your check engine light should be on. your spedo problem is the result of a faulty vehicle speed sensor and gas in oil most the time = fried piston rings, do a compression check to find out

 

my check engine light isnt on. how easy is it to replace the speed sensor on this car.

 

if you can turn a wrench a couple times your golden

 

ok thanks for the help man

 

i have the same carbut the bolt is all rused so i cant tell wat size/type bit i need can anyone help me out on this?

 

which bolt are u wondering about

 

you need to go to a workshop

 

The bolt that holds the speed sensor on the transmission. It's all rusted and looks like there was another bit broken in it. I have tried using pliars and other tools like torques bits and Allen keys. Torqes bit have come the best size but I don't know if I should heat the bolt then try or try and clean out the old materiall?
