Re: Tire size important for speedo/radar error. 200 ALL

Les -

Glad you liked that site. How about the subtle connection with this original post re: 25 decimal places where 2 is enuf?

1986 Volvo 240's, maybe others, have electronic speedos. Sensor on ring gear send pulses to speedo and Odo which then makes those units do. The odo is notorious for quitting anywhere from 90K miles to 180K. Repair is iffy, costs $200 in Houston shop, less at an Austin shop. Bring back the cable, puhleeze!

When on a road with mileposts I usually do a speedo check. Easy on Houston - Galveston run, 75 miles all flat. My error of 4.5% was OK, way inside the tolerances of my rudimentary equipment. Watch the wristwatch with sweep second hand, the speedo, and the mileposts. There are weak points.

Nice to hear from you,

Regards,

Bob
