2002 A4 B6Speedometer

Larhal · May 6, 2018

I have searched the forum and could not find any distance impulse corrections for a 2002 A4 B6. When in 17, instruments it doesn't give the option, or maybe I not doing something correct. Can anybody help me here?

myounus · May 6, 2018

Can you please submit an autoscan

Thanks

If it's the cluster I think it is, there are only three choices:

C01,??xxx: Options
C02,+00 = 1st Distance Impulse Number (Standard - Europe/USA/Rest of World)
C03,+01 = All-Wheel-Drive/Quattro (smaller Fuel Tank Volume)
C04,+02 = Seatbelt Warning (North American Region OLD - < CW 44/2004)
C05,+04 = 3rd Distance Impulse Number (Rental Cars)
C06,+08 = 2nd Distance Impulse Number (Australia)

What are you hoping to achieve by changing the distance impulse correction value?

Thanks Uwe,

That is what I found, My speedo is off by 5 mph, it states 75 and actual is 70, and I was looking to correct this. So as I see it there is no correction to be had, correct?

My speedo is off by 5 mph, it states 75 and actual is 70, and I was looking to correct this.

5mph in 70mph is just over 7% - as all speedos are required to never under-read but must not over-read by more than 10% this is within the expected "normal" range.

Larhal · May 7, 2018

I understand that is correct, I just find it annoying as my wife is always watching the speedo and telling me to slow down. Just thought I could adjust the impulse number to correct. Was worth a try. Thanks all for your assistance, much appreciated.

Uwe · May 7, 2018

Well, you could try coding it your cluster to 04400 or 08400 to see what effect that has and report back, because I really don't know why taxis or cars sold in 'straya would be different.

-Uwe-

PS: FWIW, we had a 2002 A4 for a while and the speedo on that car was dead on (within 1 mph). It was a 3.0L petrol V6 with MT6 transmission and 17" sport wheels. What size are your tires?

Larhal · May 7, 2018

My Audi is a 1.8T with a 5 speed, running 17 also with 235 45 17 tires. The door placard for tire pressure has these listed.

I will have to try the different settings next weekend and report back the results.

I've owned 3 B6s (2 x 4.2 V8 S4 + 1 x 1.9TDi 130 Sport) and 1 B7 (4.2 V8 RS4) and they all over-read (according to my GPS) by between 5% and 7% - all were MT6 and fitted with OE wheels & tyres.

Larhal · May 8, 2018

He Uwe,

I was able to try the 04400 and the 08400. Funny thing the instrument cluster would not take the codes. Maybe it is because I do not have the pin for the IMMO.

I had 205 55 16 on the car before and the speedo was off over 11 MPH. When I changed to the 235 45 17 it dropped to the 5 mph over. As the tire rolling circumference is different it helped but not totally resolved. Guess I will have to live with it, or should I say my wife complaining I am going too fast.

I do not think the Immo PIN would have any influence whether it will accept a coding.

Get an app for your phone that shows the true speed via GPS and mount it on the dash where she can see it?

Oh OK, So this would be like the fake break peddle and steering wheel I have on her side of the car, It would add a instrument cluster so she thinks she is in control. LOL

NZDubNurd · May 9, 2018

Make sure it's an app that you can program to "correct" the speed... you could make it read 20% low, and she might start telling you to go faster!

Where can I find that app, it would save my ears and keep both of us happy. Good suggestion but probably not feasible. Or maybe I could put a set of blinders on her so she cannot see the speedometer?

Apple App Store or Google Store - depending on whether you use iOS or Android?

Larhal · Feb 26, 2022

Solved.

I was refreshing my instrument cluster LED Lights and dials. I found that the previous oner had removed the check engin LED. When I put the cluster back togeather again and did a needle sweep the speedometer dial was not in the correct position. I adjusted the speedometer needle to be the correct position (60 MPH on the sweep) and low and behold the speedometer is now bang on. I did not realize that the instrument cluster had been removed before.

Lesson learned. Needle sweep was the game changer.
