finally i took a pick going over 130mph using the spedo on my comp screen. If you dont believe me now about not being a govoner then i dont know what will. Remember you can only set the speed trap to 130mph.

what did your speedometer read when you took that pic?

 

[blackgti06]

it was reading 137mph

Break 140 and I'll believe you about the governor.

 

[10bv01]

yeah, break 140 and take a picture of both the speedometer and the little screen at the same time, if you do that then i think everyone will be convinced.

 

[zulu]

Tough crowd to convince in this tread.

 

[blackgti06]

hey ill give it a try it hard to go that fast specially when you have idiots who decide to pull into your lane the last second. Ill post the pic if i get over 140.

 

[youpey]

i have my speed notice at 150, by that i mean the thing that tells you that you are speeding

 

[mk4turbo87]

dude i believe you man....... ;D

 

[blackgti06]

can anyone else post a pic of there top speed like i did.

 

[Thalo]

All you would really need to do, if you can't manage to take a picture while driving 140mph+, would be set the speed warning thing. There's no other way you can set it without actually driving that speed. Then take the picture of the MFD afterwards.

 

[blackgti06]

Thats what i did you can only set it up to 130mph.

 

[youpey]

i can set mine up to 150, i wonder why yours can only be set to 130

 

[blackgti06]

I cant get it passed 130mph it goes by 5's so after 130 it just stays there. How fast have you gotten you car up to.

 

[LuciferRex]

i can set mine up to 160 ???

 

[blackgti06]

so can i i got up to 140 and i posted a pic of 137mph. The car can reach up to 145mph car and driver was saying i say it can reach 160

I hate to bring negative news to this page about the Mk V... but here it goes.

Our speedometers are off by as much 13 mph. Yes its true and I`ll let you know how to check your own fast.

At 100 mph on the speedo we are actually at 91 mph
At 140 mph " " 127 mph

If you press the ECON button along with the UP circulation button at the same time. You will see the temp screens change. Turn the diver side to the left to reflect 19, then turn the fan speed one click to the right and you will see your actual speed on the passenger side temp screen.

Yes, we are governed to 130 mph. No matter wheel option or transmission.

I have tested it on a DSG and on my very own manual.
