Speedometer inaccuarcy...
Just checked it with my aviation GPS and the RS4 reading 3.5 mph faster than GPS indicated speed.
I'm running the 19" factory wheels and tires. This is a relatively large error at 70 MPH indicated.
Any fix for this, or do we just live with it, and compensate accordingly?

Yea I noticed that too. I asked about that on my 5k tune up and they said it checked out just
fine (no error codes) and said it was with in limit . Personally its kind of annoying and I feel like its been more inaccurate vs other cars I have owned/driven.

It's just another reason a Stage 3 B5 S4 is better. <DUCKS!> =P
They still had accurate speedometers in the USA back then (confirmed by mutliple GPS comparisons). Later on the intentionally inaccurate ones filtered into Audis in the USA (like the ones in Europe already were).

the fix is to ignore the speedometer....the steering wheel blocks the top half of mine anyway.
does the speedometer really have any effect on how you drive? personally, i think it's just a distraction.
