I just bought a '75 1.8 last week, 54K miles (please insert "This post is worthless without pictures" here). I've put about 300 miles on the car in the last 6 days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
My speedometer and odometer both work in my car. However, on the highway, I noticed that the odometer would record a mile in roughly .9 miles. I used the mile markers on the Mass Pike. The speedometer also appears to read a little fast. The tires are 195/60-15 Yokohamas. I'm assuming the tire diameter is less than the stock tire that the speedo was calibrated for. The question: Can the speedo be recalibrated? If so, how? |

Rather than going to "a place that does speedo repairs", send it to North Hollywood Speedometer or Palo Alto Speedometer and have it done by experts in VDO instruments. Odds are it'll cost about the same, but it'll be done right the first time. The Cap'n
