Odometer too fast???????
 

I am almost certain my odometer is 5 to 10 mph to fast. The car has new tires. And is also new to me.
Any way to check this. And fix the problem.
Thanks

What size wheels and tires? What year is your car?

My car's speedo/odo definitely seems a little fast to me too and I recently had it worked on because the odo wasn't turning. (they took it apart and put it back together) I have 205-60-R15's all around on a 77 which is one of the recomended tire sizes. I just assumed this is normal. The only real disadvantage is it accumulates miles faster thus decreasing resale value.

Strep,

I had a speed-based encounter with the TX Dept. of Public Safety in March (if you know what I mean!). Was cited for 82 in a 70, with the speedo only saying maybe 65! OUCH!

In addition to the speedo problem, my trip odometer quit working altogether. Checked things out and found Rick Borth in Austin, TX: http://www.speedometer.com/ Seems legit. I'm in a job transition now, so I've not had the work done yet, but once settled I plan on using him. He responded very quickly with the following quote:

John ,
Est 100 to replace odometer gear and an additional 25 to calibrate plus shipping.
Thanks,
Rick Borth


Hope this helps!
