Vito 112 speedo failure

[handym4n01]

Hi all, anyone come across this problem before?
The speedo in my yr 2000 Vito 112 cdi has suddenly packed up!
Just prior to failing it began to give an incorrect reading..either showing approx 20 mph less than actual speed, or 20-30 mph more. When stopped, the speedo was stuck on about the 30 mph mark, and I managed to 'click' it back to zero by turning the ignition on & off a few times. It has now ceased to work at all! Rev counter & mileage display etc all fine.
Anyone have any ideas please?
Cheers..Happy New Year to all.

Common fault on 638 Vitos.

You can either start exploring the myriad of cables to see where the problem is or replace the dash.

Probably easiest thing is find another one in scrap yard. Plug it in and if it works buy it. Maybe then try and replace the speedo motor but its tricky to make sure you are getting correct readings after. Best just replace the whole thing if that works. It's just two plugs on back and two screws on front.
