I had the same problem here's how it went my needle would float and not go past 50 I found the pickup and replaced it ,It's on top of the trans under a plate mine is automatic I believe it to be a A1 transmission.
If that has been done there are places that repair the cluster,You can look inside for burnt parts, capacitors,they are mustard yellow color and have 2 wires coming out usually the tops turn black,if so get a electronics person to replace all of the capacitors,there not expensive.
There's also one other problem. if the Transmission is worn out the sensor doesn't read the drum inside very well,,,you know the rest of that story,,,,
Google vw cluster repairs in Texas,,,,,
Just a guess but replace the brake light switch,,,and check the wiring around the brake pedal for wearing or shorts,
I am thinking the ABS and running lights wires might be shorting together some where ,check the wiring harness for rubbing in the engine compartment ,check the plug on the abs module to make sure it is tight. Did you scan the codes? most autoparts places will do that for free.It might narrow it down for you!
Good luck!!!
Check the cranking amps of your battery,then measure your battery could it be a little longer or wider?Then match it up.I bought mine at walmart,One with more cranking amps is ok just not less,
And as long as it will clamp down to it's mounting plate, it will work fine ,BTW they will install it for you Too! and give you $5.00 for the old battery!
Do get your radio code before you change the battery,it's in your manual or google it! and of course the dealer has it too!
I have a 4 wire MAF sensor I have ground and 5 volt,but no 12 volts not looked for signal yet ,I need to know where the 12 volt comes from,This car is a 2002 cabrio,
It also has a low signal cam sensor error,and a 02 sensor error,
Thanks for the help!

Is there any suggesstions. i have never delt with this type of car. Thanks in advance.
About two months later, the ABS light went on. Air bags check out though.
Most recently, when we use the blinkers both sides blink like crazy, but if we hit the brakes they don't work at all!! Also driver's side parking light (below headlight) and rear parking light are out (they both went at the same time). Bulbs are working though.
I'm worried if I take this to the mechanic (whom I do trust) he's going to charge $1000 for all the labor I think is involved in tracking down all these shorts.
Any comments and ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks.
