[Vwdiesel] speedo

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

Well swapped out the speedo gear on the cable today and sure enough, managed to get the mph near perfect compared to the GPS.  And, as I guessed, there was not a linear change in the odometer which I guessed would be about 4% off, instead it is a bit over 5% off (5 miles/100 miles driven) and I can live with that.  I have never gotten a ticket for having less miles on the car that it is supposed to have but I have sure gotten a ticket for going too fast.  Now speed and RPM match together like they are supposed to.  BTW for those that mentioned tires, I am running 14” VW teardrops with 185’s on them so they are nearly the exact same diameter of the 13” wheels with tires.  Hayden

“I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but there can be no doubt that such men do not run."
