Speedometer is off
On our station wagon, I downloaded an app for my cell phone to check the speedometer. As I suspected, it read fast. With a speedometer reading of 75. The app said 56, which is clearly based on GPS data and reliable. Later in the day I came upon a stationary speed awareness sign that again pointed out my speedometer was reading fast.
My Dad rebuilt it several years ago, but that is about all that has changed. Any thoughts on correction?

Re: Speedometer is off
How's the odometer? If it is incorrect, then the speedo gear might also be incorrect.
Depending on the manufacturer it can be adjusted if the odometer is reading good. http://www.modelahouse.com/tech/spee...r/fischer.html from Bob Johnsons' site.

Re: Speedometer is off
I think the odometer reads incorrectly too, but I have to check that to be sure.

Re: Speedometer is off
I'm of no help. Mine is just the opposite. At 40 mine reads 45 and at 50 its saying 57.
As long as I know I'm not worried about it. |
