I had the VDO gauges in my Cobra and had the same problem. I finally traced it down to the ground and sending cable had worn a hole in the insulation and at time they would touch. I took out all three cables and ran new better ones and never had a problem after that. I also had one VDO speedometer head that went bad and caused that kind of problem but it was one that had been modified and they replaced it. I liked their gauges, especially as they were accurate and it was easy to change the speedometer if I changed gears or tire sizes. In the 15 years that I had the car I never had any problem with any of them except what I mentioned here.
