About 3 weeks ago i got my MKV up to 140mph around 5300rpm so what going on i still had more to go.

 

[DrewMess]

the mph is off on this car. so if it says 140 you arent really going 140

 

[blackgti06]

Thats what everybody is saying ill find out

I tested it to be pretty accurate at a roadside speed testing device. It said I was "TOO FAST" only when I was doing a sliver above the speed limit.

 

[blackgti06]

was i really going 140?

If the speedo said 140 then you were going between 125-130. That sucks, but its tru. :-\

The speedo is off. There's an easy way to check if you have the climatronic system.

While holding the Econ button, press the air circulation up button.
Turn the drivers side temperature control knob so that the drivers temp screen reads 190
Turn the fan speed knob so that the temp screen reads 191
Now you can see your actual speed on the passengers temp screen.
When you're done playing just press the Econ button again and it exits the diagnostic mode!

Does this work on the MKV?

 

[blackmagic]

Yes, I drive a MkV. I think it works on any VW with the same climate control system, but I've only tested it in my MkV.

I had a customer come by yesterday who had his GTI clocked by radar at 136 at PIR (Portland International Raceway) He said the speedo was accurate. So this could help dispell both the 130 limit and the inaccurate speedo. If anyone else has their GTI clocked above the 130 limit, please post it. As for the climate control speed, I've never heard of anything like that. But as soon as I get my hands on another PK2 I'll let you know for sure if it works or not.

 

[blackgti06]

It doesn't work i tryed it unless i did it wrong explain by showing pics so i know what buttons to hit. Do i do it over 100mph or anytime?

 

[blackmagic]

When I get a chance I'll take some pictures to show you.

 

[blackgti06]

K thanks a lot. Any pics of your fast.

This does work! Attached is a document which shows everything you can diagnose through a climatronic system (Pkg #2 only)

Check this out i finally took a pic of my car going over 130mph.

Hey there guys I hit 140 mph in my Mk V and had a buddy of mine clock me at 137 mph with a speed radar. Consider the radar has not been calibrated in years it still felt like a respectable 137 mph. It seemed a bit familiar to my fastest trip at about 155 mph.

 

[10bv01]

what car did you hit 155 in?

 

[blackgti06]

take a pic next time you hit 155

 

[mog3618]

what car did you hit 155 in?

1996 Ford Mustang - Long tube headers w/ flowmasters, Diablo chip, 373 gears, Cold air intake and larger injectors (don`t know size).

155mph Turnpike - North Bound - Miami to Ft. Lauderdale for about 7 minutes.
