I bought a 97 Jetta Gt a while back. I love that car, but I've had some problems with it that I've been slowly working my way through. The overheat light will blink on and off constantly, the check engine light comes on and off and the spedometer drops out, as well as the gas gauge.
If they were each isolated I would be inclined to believe I could just replace the faulty sensors (that's what the OBD is telling me that the problem is) and fix it one thing at a time. But at nearly a hundred bucks a pop or more for replacement sensors, I have to be sure that it will fix the problem. I'm really getting irritated though, because I already had a spedo/tach specialist look at my car and they quoted me like four hundred dollars to fix my spedometer alone and they would have to send my car out of state, so that price isn't even counting the shipping costs or the time I'd be without a car.
PLEASE HELP!!! could it be a problem in the dash that I could fix myself, or should i take it directly to VW to fix it?
