After repairing my '89 Jetta speedo, it is now off by 10 mph consistantly
from 0 to 60 mph.  I managed to put the needle back on with a slight
pre-load of the clock spring.  You might try pulling off the speedo needle
and doing this intentionally to achieve your corrected reading.   The
reason I pre-loaded it was after the first repair job, it read about 7 mph
slow.  Next time I will get it right!

Subject:    Aftermarket Speedomenters?  Recalibrating existing speedo?

I recently upsized my tires and my speedo is off quite a bit.

I'd like to replace the speedo with a nice aftermarket VDO which is
adjustable.

If that isn't feasible, is it possible to recalibrate the existing
spedometer?

Thanks,
...Markus
