Speedometer Vs Rpm-meter

gtangring · 11-03-2004, 10:34 AM

Hi!

Concerning A3 2.0 FSI

Does anyone know what the actual speed in kmph is at 6th gear 3000 rpm

I have a feeling that my speedometer is showing way to much and I guess that
the RPM-meter is much more reliable.

Can speedometers be adjusted if my suspicion is correct?

speedo's can be calibrated if you do have a problem. I'm not sure if measuing someone elses RMP at speed will help because there are so many outside factors involved in speed (other than RPM).

an easier (and more reliable test) would get one of your buddies to drive next to you at a specified speed. compare your speedo to his.

good luck
