Speedo not working could be due to a faulty speed sensor...

just buy a good 2nd hand speed sensor.. according to my friend there are
lots of them at ubi park..

faulty speed sensor causes CEL light on your guage which in turn affects the
performance of ur car/engine because if you have a CEL light VTEC does not kick-in..

just buy a 2nd hand one ok..

since your ride left 1 yr plus , may I suggest u buy a GPS instead. It comes with speed indicator and is accurate. Furthermore u can transfer the GPS to your new ride next year also. I am using a Garmin Nuvi 7 series GPS.

If you had the budget go for the gps...

But if you had budgetary contraints just
heed my advice by the sensor only.. Not
everyone can afford the gps.. =)

Hehe... I don't know how much a speedo cost, I just thought that a GPS can be reused in his new ride in 1 year time, but a speedo will end up in the scrap yard.

For me the GPS is a good investment as I MUST use it when I go Msia.... hehehe Without it, I might end up in Cambodia... hehe

Yup... GPS is very useful when one travels to Malaysia...

Bro,

From what you say, most likely its the speed sensor. Dun waste $$ on doing anything first. Try to remove the speed sensor and do a cleaning. It may work. I had the same problem but after I clean it, its ok now. I think got at least 9mths liao.

bro..

try cleaning first with carb cleaner maybe the connectors to which the
vss (vehicle speed sensor) is corroded.. after cleaning is it still not
working better buy the 2nd hand one..

my two cents..

goodluck happy diy..
