Instrument cluster stopped working. vehicle mileage, and speedometer do not work at all. mileage when occurred 48,800. every speed sensor was replaced with no change. i have no way of knowing how fast i am going, or how many miles are on my car without tracking them myself. this is a common problem with multiple vw's and audi's with no apparent solution. i have spent hundreds of dollars trying to fix this problem and still am without a speedometer and odometer.
