Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    those of us that like accurate speedometers also arrive at meetings on time.

    In this day & age of time specific speed zones only a fool would have a time piece not set correctly.

      It's not simple, and is affected by the tyres if they are not as per the tyre and rim placard.

      This is the relevant part of the ADR

      5.3. The speed indicated shall not be less than the true speed of the vehicle. At the test
      speeds specified in paragraph 5.2.5. above, there shall be the following relationship
      between the speed displayed (V1 ) and the true speed (V2).
      0 ≤ (V1 - V2) ≤ 0.1 V2 + 4 km/h

      The paragraph 5.2.5 refers to the speed ranges the tests must be carried out at.

      The key is that it must never indicate a speed that is slower than you are actually travelling.
