Default A4 (B5) Speedometer is possessed!!!

I have a 1998 A4Q 2.8 and the speedometer sometimes jumps around, then stops at a speed (like 170km/h) and stays there even when the car is stopped.

When I start driving again, it moves from here as if 170 km/h is the zero point. The cruise control and odometer still work correctly.

Am I looking at a new guage cluster? Any help would be appreciated.

Run the VAG.com cluster tests. Several companies rebuild clusters but you should be able to pick one up on E-bay for less than $100.
