Quick question; my Kodiaq speedometer under-reads by 4 mph at 70 mph (indicated) as checked by GPS signal on my iPhone. So -5.7%. I had to set 74 mph (indicated) speed to achieve a GPS speed of 70 mph. This seems excessive to me because the figures on my previous Octavia were 68 and 72 mph.
The car feels slower at a given indicated speed to me and my son also commented on this but I dismissed it because the car is taller and is thus further from the road so the difference is actually perceivable.
Q1. Are these figures typical?
Q2. Can a correction be applied using VCDS coding?
Another minor irritation is that the drive mode selection reverts to Normal after ignition switch off but I’m sure it stayed on the previously selected mode on my Octavia. Again, does anybody know if this can be changed by VCDS coding?
Thanks in anticipation.
