Check speed using Climate Control Read Out

[gareth_oau]

and don't forget the tread depth on your tyres can affect the accuracy of your speedo by up to 3kph

Up to 3 kilo pico hours??

I thought the climate control was essentially the GPS speed, or is that only if you got the RNS510?

I find the speedo on the dash a fair way out, 110 climate = 120 dash.

It uses canbus signal

Can this be done for an 08 R32?

The canbus speed is the GPS speed, my speedo is reading 8kmh high @ 100km/h (checked with canbus and additional GPS = same)

I've been testing the speed over the last few days and I've noticed that when I'm doing low speeds of around 40-70kms it is out by 2-3kms but once I get up to the 90's - 100's it starts going out by 4-5kms.

Is this normal? -_-

I've also been using a GPS at the same time and the speed the climate control is telling me is pretty much on par with the GPS.

Any of that "trickery" available on 2009 Jetta 77kw TDI-7 speed DSG (1.6 litre diesel)????
Doesn't seem to have an "eco" mode.

I might have missed this in one of the posts, but how do you get back to 'normal' operation?

John @ DNA Tuning Australia has just mentioned this possibility to me with regard to my B5 (99) Passat. Does this or something similar also work for Passats?

If it helps anyone I found these links for Passat B5:

PassatWorld

Audiworld

Holding the Fan Speed Down, Temperature Colder & ECON all at the same time worked for my B5 and the + / - temperature control buttons worked to scroll up and down through the codes

Use the AC button instead in MY09 models.

This type of stuff is even on mk3's, but it uses the screen under the speedo - pretty neat

I used to do this in my 1995 Audi A4.. The novelty wore off pretty quickly.

I still use it all the time - the obd speedo readout is very accurate compared to the speedo dial.

I recently found out that my speedo was out by 9kph, no wonder i have had no speeding fines. Now when i travel into VIC i just set cruise accordingly and Sa just set on 119. Maybe i would have been better not finding out.

That display can still be out. Best to check your speed with a seperate gps and adj to that.
