Have 2001 beetle speedometer gas gauge rpm does not work but some times does work but not for long

SOURCE: started out with headlights out then the speedometer, odometer, gas gauge, oil, battery, rpm's are not working, fixed the headlight was a fuse but other stuff still won't work.

sounds like your missing a ground somewhere.

SOURCE: the odometer speedometer gas gauge and heat gauge do not work

There has been issues with the solder joints on the PIN connection to the gauge cluster. The issue being that over time thru vibration and such one of these solder joints will fail (happened on or 1999) you can repair this though. You will have to remove all of the trim from around the driver's side dash board, this will include the trim towards the center of the dash. Once these pieces are remove you'll need to remove the gauge panel (I believe (4) allen head screws) carefully bring the panel and release the wire clip from it. Looking at the back of the panel, where the plug was, carefully with plenty of light look for one of the pins to have a failed solder joint. It will be very faint however the failed joint will be a fine dark line around the pin. To correct use a small soldering iron and reheat this solder until it wants to flow, let it cool and reassemble.
I hope this may have helped,

PS: I have helped several persons with this issue, please review my profile; good luck with it (also often times with this issue the ABS light stays on)

Testimonial: "thank you you are the only person who had an answer I will try and let you know"

SOURCE: speedometer, gas gauge, odometer, rpm gauge not working

My gas guage, speed odometer and tempiture does not work
The speed odometre is reading 9999999 what should i do

SOURCE: All of a sudden my speedometer and my gas gauge quit working

If it would of been only your speedometer I would of tell you to replace your speed sensor. But in this case you gas gauge stopped working as well so I would recommend taking your whole cluster to a mechanic he will try to fix those two items, otherwise you will need to replace the whole cluster, same thing happened to me. Good luck
