Of the 6 or 7 Transporters I have owned and driven, I believe that all of them had a noisy jumping speedometer when the temperature got down to 30 or 40F. It would usually get slowly better during a long enough drive. I don't recall this happening with any of the other VWs we have owned. (Type 3 and 4, Rabbits, Jettas, Golfs) Larry A.
