Unless you really know your stuff, sooner or later, a VX stealer will get you. Sad but true.
They are no different from any other car manufacturer's franchised dealer network.
This sounds like the speedometer sender unit that is fitted to the transmission. I have no idea where, exactly. But it will have an electrical connection and a block plug. It has either been fitted incorrectly or is faulty. If you've had the transmission replaced, that'll be when it most likely happened. Of course, it could be the speedometer head (the actual speed readout itself). I don't have direct experience of this fault.
Maybe the 'box is tight or maybe you were supplied with a defective unit. Who did the work? Does it have the correct grade of manual transmission oil in it? And in sufficient quantity? Does the clutch 'drag' - that is, is it difficult to get the car in gear when it's stationary?
Faulty temperature sender?
It's a timing belt. It should have been changed by now. Check the service history. If it hasn't, plan on getting this done as soon as you possibly can. A timing belt failure will total your engine.
I hope this helps.
