View Full Version : Incorrect speedometer and odometer reading?

My TS Magna's Odometer and Speedometer are both somewhat incorrect, it seems. The speedo is off by about 8kph, and the Odo is reading 100km less than it usually does when I fill up, despite doing around the same distance. I haven't done anything to the car, it just started to happen one day.

Could it be something like a wheel out of alignment/balance? I live in a rural area with some pretty bumpy dirt roads, so it wouldn't surprise me if a wheel is out of whack.

205/65 R15, standard, as far as I'm aware.

Tyre size will affect it more but 8km/hrs seem right to me. You might be using more fuel and thinking distance are shorter. I run richer fuel in mine seem to be work better.
