I had my car towed and after the mechanic fixed the problem, called and said the speedometer wasn't working. It was working when they towed it. Wondering why he says he won't fix it, it's not his problem and he didn't do it. I'm sure the towing company has something to do with it, but how would it break?

It depends on what engine the car has. The 2.8l V6 30v engine (1998 and newer) has a timing belt that runs the water pump and exhaust cams off the crank pulley, but the intake cams are driven by a timing chain assembly inside the head, with each intake cam driven by its respective exhaust cam. The car likely has valve damage, although if it shut down quickly, there may not be any piston or cylinder damage. The only way to know though, is to autopsy the motor and inspect everything. That alone is going to cost a lot. You'd probably be better off sourcing another engine from an auto recycler such as www.shokan.com in NY, or on eBay or Craigslist. I'd bet that you'd pay less to buy and ship that engine than you would to determine the full extent of the damage to your own existing engine.

Get an attorney or they will stone wall on this, the first thing any tow company does when faced with a tow related damage claim is deny it, most people just give up and go away, I have seen this first hand, I know people in the towing business, and for the most part this is their policy, deny, deny, deny!

It is not recommended by the manufacture to change it,They say it is lifetime fluid.

I'm having the same problem with my 2004 TT. I've narrowed the problem down to being the bulb. I swapped bulbs with the driver side and the problem followed the bulb. Your solution is to replace the bulb. You need a D2S 4300 K bulb. It's best to replace in pairs. Try here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290310078483
You can change the bulb easily yourself in about five minutes, especially on the passenger side. You may want to disconnect the battery, though I don't know if that is necessary. You may also want to handle the bulbs wearing latex or nitrile gloves so as to not get your skin oil on the glass.
1. Remove the decorative cover that conceals the Coolant reservior. There is a single philips screw near the firewall that holds the cover down.
2. Find the back of the headlight and pull the metal wire clip that holds the back of the headlight cover toward the engine. Remove the cover.
3. Look inside and find the back of the HID bulb--it will be toward the outside fender. Twist the connector until it separates.
4. There is a retainer ring that holds the bulb in. Again, twist that until it comes loose. The bulb should come right out.
5, Put the new bulb in, noticing the notch is on top. Also, attach the retainer ring. It is marked "Top" to help orient it. Reattach the connector with a twist.
6. Make sure everything is firmly in place. Reconnect your battery and test the lights. Finish putting anything else back on.

could be a relay or maybe even a cable break, hope it is the former, sound like a job for auto electrician.
