Speedometer.
My speedometer hasn't worked since I bought the car. I bought a new one once but it had a yellow plug instead of a black one like mine had. I hooked it up and I'm certain the plugs are for manual or auto. So I hooked it up and it didn't work. I was going to remove and change the plugs. But while removing I broke the blue plug on the back so now my old one is back on it. My question is, would the plug difference cause the speedo to not work. And what does VDO. Mean. I see them on eBay and some say VDO or something. Thanks.

Vereinigte Deuta Ota. That's what a quick web search will do for you. It is now just a trademark of Continental AG, a big company. A small bit of advice. You have posted numerous times and frankly, your posts reflect a lack of comprehension about what is important information. Further, it appears that you ask before you do any research or analysis. Here's a tip. Search the forum. Use www.12v.org to increase your knowledge. Buy a Bentleys manual for your car. We are all enthusiasts and would love to help you, but you need to put some time in studying the systems. A malfunctioning speedo isn't necessarily a gauge problem. It could be a voltage stabilizer problem. It could be a wiring problem. A Bentleys manual would aid in making that determination.
