Speedo, clocks S4 b8.5

[Stu2w]

How come Audi only put the Speedo to 160 on the S4? My sat nav did the rest...

 

[xpoweruk]

Doesn't the digital speedo keep going instead ?

Edit

Didn't realise the B8 went to 200 till I checked

 

[Stu2w]

What.. The earlier ones say 200?
Digital maxed at 167

I think it's strange how above 100 it jumps up in 20's instead of 10's for the same amount of spacing

Probably another cost cutting exercise on this so-called luxury car.

Did you notice if the speedo showed roughly the same speed as the sat nat was indicating (before the speedo maxxed out)? Or was it around 10% more? The rumour is that speedos are designed to overstate speed.

Although I'd imagine you might not have compared this at the time seeing as you must have been concentrating hard on the Autobahn or a track.

B8's are quicker

Mine goes to 300kmh. RSs show to 320. We don't have miles on the dial.

RS4 has 200 on the dial, and speedo is all electronic so the spacing is just to make it clear and readable under standard conditions, the section most people drive in, after that the detail is not as important and to allow 0 -200 (or 160 on the S4) in the circle it changes to 20mph per section.

Yes indeed.

Speedo's are much more accurate these days compared to their old analogue cable versions.

Were you rushing to the garage for fuel?

 

[Stu2w]

The wife called... Was on a promise

This was carried out in Germany for those law abiding uk viewers

They don't hang about getting up to the top end do they

How do you get the oil temp in you DIS?

 

[Laurent]

if I was doing that, my oil temp would have gone up to 120 degrees celcius..

 

[Laurent]

but then again.. my speedo goes up to 300kph..

 

[GeoffDunk]

Lap timer and oil temp can be activated in green service menu. LT and O/T go together.

Get some decent oil in it and a decent filter.
Highest mine goes is 110 max.
Castrol is the way to go. Mines due soon.
1,000 miles in 7 months

Well that's the problem you see :
I have a good oil in, motul 5w40 300V, everything is fine, yet as soon as I get above 130kph, I'm above 110 degrees Celsius. There's nothing I can do, when I'm on the road, I'm always around 160kph which means 115 degrees .. I don't understand why.

Oh yea it gets to 300... I'm in Germany right now.. I've reached this speed.
