This happened to my other VW's and my current Audi.  Typical of a VDO
speedo.  Remove the instrument cluster from the dash.  Remove speedo from
cluster.  On left side of the speedo, there is a little gear on a very small
shaft, driven by a screw gear.  The gear, after many miles, tends to slip
off the shaft enough to miss the screw gear...all I did was push the gear
back on the shaft and it's worked ever since.
