That’s even better. Thank you
How? I have the Carista dongle and couldn’t see any wheel related settings.
Leave it with me and I’ll try and get a screenshot. From memory there are 6 levels to choose from where a few are blank. I set mine to the top level (6) and at 70mph it’s 2 mph more than gps.
Don’t think so if a T6.1.
Be great if you can @Shaggy1969 , I haven't seen an option on Carista, but then again I haven't looked too hard, I'm sure someone said you couldn't do it on Carista a while ago! What wheels and tyres do you have?
I wonder if VCDS could set it again if it was completely wrong?
Thank you
You would be better off changing it with VCDS, I think if its done one way it can't be reversed, but done by changing wheel circumference with VCDS its reversible.
Just wondering if anyone coming to the Spring Gathering will be equipped with VCDS? There's cake and coffee/tea/beer in it for you!! @Bigsidavies ?
I'm trying to get a couple of things changed so I can come, if I do I will bring the laptop.
Here you are:
Into Language and Units
Then scroll down to Speedometer Calibration
Then pick your value.
Top bloke @Shaggy1969 , what tyres do you have?
That is also available in OBDEleven. Although I still haven't mustered up the courage to change it.
Seems a safer way to do it though than the variant way if it's irreversible
275/40 R20.
I've got those on the back on 10's, my fronts are 245/45 on 8.5J's, I reckon setting 6 would be perfect, but I'm going to wait for a VCDS guru before I proceed, best get it right before I potentially can't go back!
Many thanks Shaggy.
That’s great, thank you so much for this. Do I choose 6 for 275/40r20 tyres?
That’s what I selected and speedo about 2mph above Tom Tom GPS.
Few are saying 20mph nowhere, but in Wales they are all over the place and just because they may save a life or injury in one place does not imply it works else where. As I have said they are ignored by the majority in most places. It has been brought in to raise cash. Oh I have a bright idea then bombard the public with how wonderful it is. My guess is that in England they are far better sited.It's no joke if simple things, such as staying alive, are important to you.
Wales’s 20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate?
Research suggests the scheme may be more popular than thought, with consultations dominated by a loud minoritywww.theguardian.com
Whether you believe anyone has "applied jntelligence" or not, there is an is an increasing body of evidence about the reduction in road deaths and casualties. Compared in thet light it's irrelevant whether anyone likes it or not.
My VCDS is the old hex-can, it won’t play with your posh new van unfortunately. It’s always in the van though for anyone with a pre 2018 model.
