Title: Odd Working Speedo
Post by: elantraelite on May 17, 2015, 11:03:31

Hi all,

I had an interesting experience with my speedo on my FD i30cw diesel.

I was accelerating from 0-70km from the traffic lights and as the speedo reached 60km the needle started skipping and would go any higher even though i would have been doing over 80km

It continued to do this until I came to a complete stop. However, when the speedo reached 0 it jumped from 0 - 5km 3 times.

When I took off again it seems like it reset itself and worked normally again... So odd

have a look at the speed sensor make sure the connectors are clipped in tight. or it could be buggered

I was thinking maybe the speed sensor...

But it was strange how as soon as I came to a stop the speedo needle jumped a couple of times like it knew it has dropped... Hasn't played up since... Just an grumpy speedo I guess
