It's a shame VW can't vet who buys an R32

Then again, maybe not - they might take my GTI off me

...and just to add to it, if we really wanted to be accurate.

the speedo isn't entirely accurate. when you hit 100kmph on your speedo...the real speed is something like 96-97kmph. you can check this by programming your a/c in to switch on the digital speedo on your a/c temp screen...plus you can also double check this while using a GPS navigator which has a speedo programmed in it.

i've driven on a cruise with someone with a revo flash... colin... forgot his username though. all i can say is it went hard. revo claims the highest gains.

I followed (chased) him for a whole cruise once and he never pulled away. Except when I couldn't see through the smoke.

He told me 138kw and 400Nm.

Mind you we all know what happened to his car...

It's even worse than that in a MkV golf. I'm only actually doing 92km/hr when the speedo indicates 100.

But it's easy to correct in the MkV golf, takes about 3 minutes.

OK - how is it corrected?

Read this thread and it tells you how to do it, why it's out and by how much.

Ok - so you access the climatronic to get at the background service data.

To access that you press the ECON and the top right air direction button (next to recirc) simultaneously. To get back to temperature control press AUTO and ECON simultaneously.

This then brings up the menu shown in your pic

Then it's a case of drilling through the dataset until you find the area that adjusts the distance impulse number?

Lol best thread ever, UGR was back on a whole day and kicked off 99GTI i like your style!

The climatronic is the other way of accessing some of the data whilst using the car.

The adjustment must be done with a vagcom/vcds cable and software as per that screenshot, that is where you adjust the "offset".

In that thread I have posted the TSB but I'm not sure if the Australia dealers will perform the work, if not you need to find someone with a Vagcom and get them to adjust it.

I would recommend checking the speeds beforehand via the climatronic or vcds, a handheld GPS and the speedometer and logging this data. Then get the change made and then test again. Remember that if your offset is different to mine then you need to choose a lower offset to compensate for this.

Thanks for that! I came across the info on the distance multipler ages ago on Vortex, but never tried it out because the general consensus at the time on that forum seemed to be that it made very little difference.

I'll have to give it a go now.

Cheers again. I guessed it had something to do with VAGCOM so now I just need to track someone down I 'spose.

BTW have you ever thought of drilling a hole in your muffler? I hear it gives you at least an extra 5 - 10kw and a lovely sound (joke btw!)

He was so full of it, Gerhard ... I sincerely doubt he had or was getting an .:R.
