What Causes the Needle on Volkswagen Dashboard to Shake?
1 Answers
Volkswagen dashboard needle shaking is due to poor contact in the dashboard control circuit, a faulty dashboard circuit board, dirty electronic throttle and intake system, or battery drain. Dirty electronic throttle and intake system: If the idle speed shakes and the dashboard needle jumps erratically when starting the car, and the throttle pedal responds sluggishly when accelerating, it indicates a dirty electronic throttle and intake system. Battery drain: If power-consuming devices such as lights or the radio were left on when the car was last turned off, causing battery drain, it can also lead to erratic jumping of the dashboard needle. Solution: Turn on the hazard lights, press and hold the dashboard reset button, turn on the ignition, and adjust FIX to set the next maintenance mileage and days to zero.
