vito speedo fault

[handym4n01]

Hi, having problems with the speedo on my Vito (2000 model). The speedo only works intermittently...almost as though it has a loose connection, which 'catches' sometimes and not others. I am assuming this is a mechanical cable rather than a digital one as the speedo clock is not digital.
All ither guages..mileometer, rev counter, fuel guage etc are fine. Any ideas on how to check / remedy please?

Hi , Search on here for vito clocks, vito speedo, w638 clock faults and you will find your answer, The clocks although analogue are actually a digital signal and the link cable between the speedo is a ribbon type cable which over time will become damaged and come loose. The answer is in some of the other posts .

Hope this helps

There is a speed sensor in the gearbox just above the diff ive found them loose before but the van also gets the speedo through the abs unit and all 4 wheels sensors have to be working
I know this because I fit taxi meters and when your model of Vito (passenger )
Version always gave speedo trouble more often than not it was one of the speed sensors
