I have a 98 new beetle 2.0L 5 speed. The odometer will stop tabulating mileage, but the display will still show the mileage where it stopped (i.e., the display works, but stuck at whatever mile even if I keep driving). If I take the speedometer cluster out, unplug and then replug in the odometer wiring, the odometer will then show the correct mileage (it catches up). It will work for awhile, then quit again. Is this the speedo cluster, or the odometer sending unit? Any way of testing, or is it easiest to start with replacing the sending unit or speedo cluster and see if that fixes it? Where is the mileage stored? TIA Chris
