Anyone else have a saggy speedo spring ?

Post by marky mark » Mon Aug 10, 2015 9:53 pm

Got A S6 c5 Avant which i have had speedo issues with, basically its out by 7mph all the way through the range.
I have noticed that when running and idle the speedo is 7 mph lower than the Xero (0) needle.
I have been told that the springs sag... anyone else had this quick fix ??
The LCD is on its way out as well...

Cheers
