Probably is the common issue with Saab (Bosch) ABS module. Had same problem with 2003 9-3 SE. Removed it, had module remanufactured (~$150), reinstallled - fixed problem. Google to find more info.
The 1998 TDI uses an electronic speedo. Assuming all the other gauges on the dash are working, then it is not a blown fuse. In this case it is either the pick up from the gearbox, the speedo itself or the wiring in between. The easiest way to check is by substitution of the speedo or the pick up one at a time. If this fixes it then the wiring is OK. If it doesn't fix it, then go looking for a wiring fault. Given the age, the wiring behind the dash can fail either by open circuit or shorting, so I usually just run new wires if I get a fault in one.
Because of the plastic gear on the odometer shaft is some teeth . You'll have to replace the entire speedometer . Or take the vehicle to a shop that does those types of repairs. I went to the junkyard and bought the entire instrument cluster for under 50.00$ . Did it myself. Tedious job don't be in a rush could break something else. .
There is a gear that drives the sensor gear much like the old speedo cable gear. If you connected the sensor and the check engine light went off, chances are the sensor is working.
need to check speedo sensor or drive gear in gearbox is connected,may have been disconnected after work was done,or the sensor has packed up,unlikley to be speedo itself if its been ok in the past
If the speedo is the only thing that is not working then it has a defective stepper motor, that is the little motor that moves the needle, it can be repaired, most of the cost is removing the speedo and re-installing it, so if u can do that u will save allot of green, ask the dealer for the name and phone number of the company that fixes there speedo's, don't go through the dealer, they will 2X the repair bill, go directly to the repair station.
