What was up with your car for it to need a new speedo sender ? Have you checked you have the correct sensor for your engine code ?

It just seems a little odd for a speedo sender to need replacing. Is yours a MK2 or MK1 Arosa ? Im only asking as I had a problem with my speedo not working and spent alot of money trying to get it fixed when it turned out just to be a faulty earth wire.

There is a sticky thread at the top of the Arosa section which, is a wiring diagram for the back of the instrument cluster. Should help shed some light for you.
