hi all,
this was raised at a party i was at on the weekend... my car is a series one EL and had a 3.25 diff fit by the previous owner... the speedo underreads (ie. at 100kph indicated on the cluster it is actually only doing about 90-91 kph) does this mean my car would not have done as many kilometers as the odometer says so? (ie has the car done less milage than it says) not something i had considered before |

any ideas? i suppose it depends on where the odometer gets it information from

short answer yes, but how significant of a difference, depends.
how many k's since the diff was fitted etc.

Transmission could have been changed too.
Your car may have a speedo driven gear to suit a 3.08 diff, hence the lower actual K's. Here's a guide for the correct gear to be fitted. gearbox-suspension-brake-driveline-f4/ef-el-1994-1998-speedo-sender-drive-driven-gear-t71134.html?hilit=driven And as above yes, your car has actually done LESS k's than indicated, bare in mind MOST people change instruments in a car, especially if there has been diff change. Police clusters are also good for correcting the gauge documents.php?d=14

Police clusters are also good for correcting the gauge documents.php?d=14 aussie cars used to have an approx 10% over speed reading ie doing 100KPH, actual is more like approx 91 KPH. so op's caris reading fine. yes i know i'm thread mining! ....... currently going thru "interior mods" & this popped up  how does one get flamed nowadays......... |
