Robster 0 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Think my speedo is definately out now...Since i put 17's on the golf i've had a feeling the speedo's been under-reading.Tested it against my girlfriend's 53reg punto a while back and at 70 on her speedo mine was reading about 65.Went to the Dub Preservation meet near york last thurs night and had a play on the way back with my mates mk2 G60.Flat out on the way home i managed to crawl past him with my speedo showing just under 150.When we got back he said his was reading just under 245kmh which works out over 150 when i passed him.The G60 is running std diameter BBS splits 15" so i'm pretty sure mine's under reading.Anyone else noticed this ?Either way i was chuffed with the VR6!Not so chuffed trying to get the flies off the front end yesterday!!!!ha ha ha. :-p Link to post Share on other sites

mk3anni 0 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Your assuming the G60 and the Punto are spot on, and there probably not.Have you tried using a GPS receiver, like a road angel to get an accurate speed? Link to post Share on other sites
