Yes, speedometer shops have a tool that alters the strength of the magnet in the speedo head. They can calibrate it to anything you want. As a practical matter, you'll do better if you find a speedo shop that is used to dealing with VDO speedometers, as US cars use a different system and shops that only work on US cars will go nuts trying to understand what they need to do (at least the ones around here have told me that.) That won't fix the odometer, however. The only way to fix that would be to change the gears. Alternative gears were available at one time, but I'll bet that they are hard to find today. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
