    Renault Megane 1998 1.6 - Speedo jumps about. Archived Message

    Posted by Steve Hankinson on January 31, 2006, 6:55 pm

    Hi all, when driving at say 30mph speedo jumps up to 60, then settles at 30 for a while then sets off jumping up and down again.
    Live data when driving shows vehicle speed fluctuating wildly between 5 - 150mph!

    Fitted new VSS
    Cleaned/checked earths behind both kick panels and in engine bay
    Removed NGK plugs and fitted Bosch (worth a try!)
    Removed speedo and resoldered suspect joints.
    None of this had any effect, all other gauges working normally. Am tempted to order a new speedo but what's nagging me is the live data (would this happen if it was just a faulty speedo)

    Thanks for any thoughts

    Steve
