The speedo on my 2003 1.6 petrol Fusion (truly a great car) drops out occasionally. This has been going on for several years now. Sometimes it comes back after a few miles, sometimes after a few days. No apparent pattern or cause. Interestingly though, whenever it drops out, the radio volume -

Audi A3 + S3 (2001 - 2003) - 03 1.8T Audi stereo power supply 9 Sep 2009 (Forum)
