Dashboard failure
Volkswagen Polo 1997 237415 miles
Some time ago, the laps counter and speedometer stopped working, while all the other instruments worked perfectly. Occasionally, when starting the engine, all of them were working but, when turning it off and starting it again, they failed once more. I was told the problem was a little engine which might be damaged. Can anyone help me please?

I had the same problem and it was a connector which was released from its place. It goes in the gearbox and controls both things.
