the possible causes ar the inductive road speed sensor or the speed signal from theABS or ASR control unit N30

All in all it is not the cluster, as I said earlier the speedo head is a separate unit, I would think that you only have a poor connection some where. I do not know how you will find it without the test gear, start by unplugging the module mentioned above and re inserting.

OK they are easy to work on and the speedo unplugs from the board, I feel it will be a crack in the PCB, but that can be bridged. what ever you do not need the whole thing, I repaired one 2 weeks ago, after I found a definite fault.

As stats,very pleased, sometimes I think that the world is a crazy place in that MB people don't even try, it makes me angry that they do not care one s--- about how much it cost you, or should I say us.
