   106 gti engine wiring is totally different as far as i know ? most of the fuses are in the car rather than in engine bay

   the speedo drive is easy to change, as you look at it theres a allen key bolt to the side undo that and it pulls out and can be swapped for a cable one, only thing is that the wiring loom might not have the plug for it.
   
   what year is the engine and loom from.

   The loom should be ok, so Id start looking elsewhere. Some looms Ive had have fused power feeds (the ones going to the fusebox), others are like the 106 GTi and splice into the charging circuit. If it doesnt work, then sadly youre down to buzzing out wires Look for any obvious breaks.
   
   As said, change the box speed sensor.
