I was just wondering if anyone knows what could be causing all my gauges (mainly my speedometer) to be moving up and down a lot and not work at all sometimes. I own a 97 gti vr6. I've had my speedometer sensor replaced, my ground wires checked and cleaned, the gauge cluster has been checked too and I had my battery checked too and its perfectly fine. This doesn't happen all the time, but its getting really annoying. A MIL light shows up occasionally too which is because of the speedometer i think. It might possibly be my aftermarket chip i have (neuspeed p-chip) but i'm not sure cause i somehow lost my stock one :(

Anyways, if anyone has any idea what else it could possibly be then please let me know, thanks

If your MIL light is on, it will store an error code. You need to find out what the stored error is. I'm not sure if you can use a VAG-COM on your car or not. Do you have a Bentley manual?

well the guy who tried to fix my car said the light was for the speedometer
it goes on and off though

I have the manual that came with the car but its unfortuantely locked in my glove department which is broken lol

Sorry, I don't have any ideas. You might want to have someone double check the speedometer sending unit to make sure it's okay.
