hey guys, did y'all realise the speedometer on VW (mine's a 1.4TSI) wont display the actual speed but its slightly higher (~7-8kmh)?? i compared it with another car of mine (not vw) with cruise control - driving side by side on highway, and also a gps.... both confirm what i suspected

QUOTE(Yan @ Sep 13 2011, 08:23 PM) it's a known fact the speedometer in most cars is not accurate... over-reads by a few %.. yea... and I read somewhere online the car manufacturers are complying to a something-something and purposely make it higher than actual speed so that we wont get saman... lolll.. and now i know why my car feels slow when driving at 140-150 (compared to driving my other car)  some say GPS reading are the closest... i can't b sure on that |
