Just brought a 103TDI

[Guest001]

Yeah, found it but wish it was a bit bigger. I was looking for a pic of it. It's going to take me a while to get across the VW protocols and data is somewhat buried and complex for this old guy.
Ta again Tonba.

Wait till you realize it is about 7 k fast at 100kph.

All VW speedos are about that far out.

Is completely legal unfortunately.

I have bought (not brought) a Polaris HUD which puts the true speed just below eye level on the windscreen.

Far better idea.

Agree with Hillbilly (hate that).

I did find out the other day that you could fine tune the speedo of Octavias with VCDS - hadn't heard that one before and maybe also works with other VW variants.

Yeah, my Falcon was no more than 1 out and was always overtaking euro cars sitting on 104 doing 103 less 2 (radar error) = alleged 101.
So in the Yeti 110 in 100 zone should be ok on what I've seen compared to my TomTom readout.
So what does the HUD look like?........sounds good.

We tried to do that with both cars The Polo was unreceptive and the Passat came down 2 k. Am open to someone else trying to fix it.

Aw, sorry to treat you like a slave
Actually I'd be happy if I could simply magnify the central display somehow. That'd do me.

Were you trying to change the distance impulse number ?

[Guest001]

Something like that

In a 2010 Polo what digit do you need to bring it down from 7k fast and a Passat from 6 k fast.

I remember about no 7 being stock or similar.

Whatever was tried didn't work.

I was driving Helper was sitting beside me

It's all trial & error.

For some numbers it may even give an error "öutside parameters" or similar

Mostly error in my case LOL

What I meant was If the setting is already on 7 what would you try to reduce the error.

'uck nose..

i'm one of those people that would try 1 or 0 first then try 3.

We tried on the Polo but made no difference. May try again one day

i have taken the plunge and pick up a Black Yeti TDI-DSG one of the last of the runout i believe.
Ive owned a tiguan and a caddy before, currently have a colorado, but havent really taken to it.

Partner purchased a Skoda Roomster 1.2 TSI and that is a great little machine.

Whilst sniffing around the Yeti made more and more sense. I do big mileage with work so a five year unlimited warranty and cheap interest helped me make the decision and I think the Yeti is a great looking rig

[ploz58]

toomba id be interested in your signwork on your Yeti, i have to do similar I didnt really want a black car but i will have to partial wrap anyway.
