Glad I dropped back into this group!! Same car, and today, without warning, the
speedo stopped working. Car drove normally, all gauges and idiot lights working,
but no speedometer.
Did a couple of errands, and suddenly all is well again, so this sounds like
sensors to me. Now to figure out where they are, and how to check them.

Hey Bob,
I bought a 99 OBW a few years ago and had the same problem. Bought
the car, then later on the drive home, no speedo no odo. Good times.
I was led to believe, at the time, that this was actually a fairly
common problem. No matter. But, at the time, my concern was how many
were actually on the car. I got a hold of the service records, and
determined that the car likely had significantly higher miles than
anyone could believe.
Anyhow, to answer your question, the dealer had to replace the speedo
unit behind the guage cluster. If memory serves, it would have been
around $300 (2003).
Good luck.
