[Vwdiesel] Service Bulletins

[Nate Wall]

I was unpacking a box of books last night and I came accross my VW service
bulletins for MY 1985. In December 1984, VW change the calibration of its US
speedometers, because of a change in Federal law. Previous to that, the bulletin
said it was something like 8 MPH plus 3% over the stated speed. Wow! And two
years before that it was different. Beginning in Dec. 1984 the calibration was
changed to 3 mph over road speed. Same bulletin said the tolerance of the
odometer was +3%, so that agrees w/ my calculated 2+ percent odometer readings.
