Speedometer error and warranty??
I recently observed that my GPS (new) says that I am going about 10% slower than my speedometer indicates. If this is consistently true with VWs, as the responses I got on the Vortex forum indicate, then it would also follow that the odometer has a similar error and that MPG calculations would be off by a similar factor. The kicker, though, is that if the odometer registers a mile for roughly every .91 miles driven, it follows that the warranties also expire quite a bit before the true mileage is reached. If this is true, what does it mean? Is there some kind of design error? An honest mistake? Outright fraud? Am I the only one concerned, or has this come up before? Any thoughts or opinions welcome.

ORIGINAL: SwedishGP your trip computer should be calculating in the vehicle and not from a gps sattelite. there is a delay in info from the sattellite. the odometer reads from vehicles sensors not the gps |
