Thanks, both you and Daniel have confirmed that VDO did this the easy way, by 
just changing the gearing. 100km seems like awfully low mileage for the odo to 
roll over on, however. I still wish they had used one more digit for both miles 
and km's.  

As far as the 160km/hr goes, I think the type 3 speedos have always gone a 
little higher than those that came with the beetles. Our cars will actually go 
a little faster than most beetles, so this is reasonable.
