The wiring? Cluster? There are many other possibilities...

who did you buy it from,most vw clusters for that series(?) get loose connections,drive it and then just hit the dash to see it the speedo moves,if it does just pull the cluster out get some electrical parts cleaner and clean the plugs and make sure they are tight
