VDO Speedometer & G50 trans - question

[dave harris]

Does anyone know the "pulses per km" or "pulses per mile" from the G50 trans? I have the VDO Visions electronic speedometer and I'm hoping that it needs to be calibrated to start working (First drive of the car today and no speedo! - crap!).

Also, I've assumed that the sender in the G50 is a simple inductive sensor as it only has 2 wires (Hall sensors usually have 3).

If this is an incorrect assumption - please let me know!

Thanks in advance guys!

Hi Dave

It will depend on the size wheels and tyres you are running as to how many pulses you need.

With the VDO electronic speedo I used ,Cockpit vision series, you allow it to auto calibrate by driving a measured mile/Km during setup and it's done automatically.

I just used my daily driver which is 99.9 % accurate and drove a measured mile marking the start and stop points and then repeated it in the 40 while autocalibrating.

Thanks Dimi - I'll give that a go and see if it starts working!
