Car speedometer showing wrong speed?
My ford fiesta mk 6 has just come back from the garage after having an MOT and now the speedo is reading 10 mph less than its actually travelling. Can anyone tell me what may have caused this and can it be easily fixed, Thanks
Take it to a authorized dealer and tell them that you have problems with the Odometer they can usually correct it for you.
If the MOT place has damaged it then it is their responsibility to repair it. You need to contact them as soon as possible.
Tell me how you know this.
Do you have new tyres? Wrong tyre size will cause a speedo error.
Or
the car's brain [PCM] has the wrong tyre size parameter (could the garage have changed it when correcting some other fault?) which is used to calculate the speed.
- Why does my car speedometer go whackadoodle catywompis a couple of times each year? Every so often my speedometer goes wacky as if it were loose from it's bearings. It will just go flipping all over the place as if being pulled by a magnet. This only happens once or twice a year. I always drive the speed limit so it has nothing to do with driving. It's a 1995 Ford Taurus SW.
- Can I make my five speed to a six speed? I have a 91 Ford Ranger 3.0L V6 five speed. I know it's not an idea vehicle to fix but I enjoy the vehicle much. I would to fix it up, I know to give it a better performance that I have to make a lot of things custom. One thing I'd like to do is change it to a six speed, would it be wise to do so and is it possible? I'm hoping for a little bit gas mileage doing this and maybe faster acceleration?
- What's wrong with my 01 bullitt speedometer? So my battery drains easily and today i tried to start my car, a 2001 mustang bullitt, and it didn't start so i had to use jumper cables, after it started i noticed the needles of the rpms and for my speed were stuck at the very end, after driving for around a block the rpms needle started to work, but not the speedometer, what could be wrong with it?
- Should I trade my 1995 ford mustang v6 5 speed for a 3000gt v6 five speed? Mustang runs and drives, 3000gt runs and drives but need ball joint and a arm. Should I trade if he throws money in for trade?
