UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi there, I am new to this forum, as I have just purchased a 51 reg Polo E as my first car.

There is a problem I hope someone can help me with - the speedometer is about 6mm under 0mph at rest and stays there once the engine is running, so therefore my car is going faster than the speedo is reading, is there any way to balance the speedo back to 0 again at rest?

Kind regards,

Tom

Here is a diagram of my problem, the blue line represents my speedometer needle

youve got a mk5 (6n2) polo not a mk4 (6n)

maybe post in the mk5 section for a quicker reply, i personally havent heard of any 6n's doing this, maybe while driving the speedo 'plays' up by jumping down then back up again but not while idling :S

good luck
