Re: speedo not working
It's tiny, maybe 4mm? They are so cheap and your motor factors should have a box of assorted sizes, so I'd get the three smallest sizes and get home and try to find the correct, snug size... At least that's what I did!

8mm e-clip. Every VW dealer stocks those even when they don't have anything else.

Re: speedo not working
Oh so that is what is supposed to go on there!!
When I noticed mine didn't have a clip I just put a small cable tie on it, stayed on the last few thousand miles ok.
