No, if you are sitting on 110 you are actually doing 100. VW say it's a "Built-in safety factor" apparently.

I was of the opinion that the speed calculated by the computer was accurate, ie. set display to show average kph and reset. Reading is current speed. Best to check with cruise on.Originally Posted by brackie
Do you know if this is correct?
I have 2.0 petrol and i would never change it for the LOUDER, more truckish sounding diesel. I am a bit of a leadfoot and have taken the diesel for a bit of a drive when servicing my car.. but i cant stand the diesel sound. I dont hate it any longer though, i appreciate it now. Either are fantastic though. But because of the louder engine the diesel isnt for me.
With regards to the speedo error it is 10%. The odometer however is spot on - so fuel efficiency can be accurately calculated from the distance travelled/litres used. I have tested this as the dealers (several of them) couldnt tell me. If the ododmeter isnt correct economy would seem to be 10% better than it actually is.
i saw you today! driving up the pacific you followed me from Bobbin head road! sorry if i smoked you with my 30 year old diesel. i couldnt help noticing your sweet lookin mk5 with the foggies turned on.
if you didnt notice me, i was directly infront of you at the bobbin head rd intersection.

Adding to the speedo error, Mine is out by 9kph.
Have not been able to get below about 5.3L/100k on highways as yet.
