Speedo Over Reads

Recommended Posts

JimLad

I have a 1.9 Gti fitted with an Mi16 with a 1.6 Be3 box on it. The speedo over reads quite badly.

 

From what I've read in other posts am I right in thinking I've got a mismatched pinion and drive wheel?

 

Do I just need a pinion from a 1.9 box? Presume this is easier to change?

 

Cheers

How many teeth has the pinion got? How much does it overread?

 

If you have a 17 tooth pinion and it overreads by 15%, just get a 20 tooth pinion (part number 2649 13)

Will have to check no. of teeth but 15% sounds about right. Cheers

Does it read 70ish when you are actually doing 60ish?

I'm really not sure tbh. Will have to get someone to follow me or put my gps in it to find out.
