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,

    I saw this "winter tire option" in my MFD, when i first got, but didn't think anything of it.

    i'll have to have a look into this.

      Re WINTER TYRES
      Bad news . . this setting relates to the speed at which an audible warning is given that the vehicle is approaching the rated speed of the tyres. This is apparently lower for Winter Tyres.


      From another Forum
      Quote from the manual....
      Winter tyres
      Here you can set at which speed a warning signal should sound. This function is used
      for e.g winter tyres with the permissible maximum speed less than the maximum
      speed of the vehicle.
      When exceeding the speed, the following is displayed on the information display*:
      Snow tyres max. speed ... km/h (Winter tyres maximum ... km/h)

        Speedo correction MUST actually be possible

        Seikel, amongst their information online, offer a Speedometer adjustment service when changed tyres/wheels are added to their lift kit. The change for Earlier T5's is pretty expensive but E35.70 for post 2011 vehicles suggests it is a simple change.
        FWIW


        Speedo adjustment
        for Volkswagen T5 up to MY 2010
        446,25 € (incl. tax)
        375,00 € (ex. tax)
        for Volkswagen T5 from MY 2011
        35,70 € (incl. tax)
        30,00 € (ex. tax)

          might cost a bit to take the van to germany to get them to change the speedo setting

          Im assuming those prices are in house?

          Sucks about the winter tire option, ill have to look at the manual, as I've overseas, earlier models only had speed warning and later models looked like speedo was an option.
