Hi, i have a combo 1.7 diesel, yesterday i adjusted my clutch cable as it needed tightening up abit and whilst i was at it i decided to clear the gunk from around the battery with some hot/boiling water, done this on all my vehicles etc and its been fine. set off for a drive in it and 5 mins down the road i seen steam/smoke coming from that side of the bonnet and then my speedo stopped working. Pulled over couldnt see anything, was probably the water just drying off. ive checked the fuses and all seems well, anyone know what else it could be? im pretty sure its the same on a corsa? thanks in advance, Tom

Anyone? Anything?

could be the speed sensor has packed up?

Are they cheap?

i honesty don't know but i believe they are basically the same across all corsas/combos so i would imagine so

is your fag lighter working

never had it in tbh. only just noticed that the miles has stopped going up aswell and when you reset the km gauge thingy that doesnt work also, so i need fix this asap now. the fuel and temp gauges work fine though. Not sure what it could be.

plug somet in the fag lighter to see if it works. if it doesnt the fuse has gone. the speedo and fag lighter are on the same fuse.

all the fuses are ok. Hmm not sure what else it could be! and i dont really want to go dismantling somthing. maybe the speedo sensor got some water on it and just died!

Yeah have a look at the speedo sensor it's at the back of the gear box I think there not thy expensive from like EBC

ah right! thanks!!
