Hence I misunderstood the initial question, which I read as if the car was supposed to stop accelerating at the set limit.

Yes, just a ding and red warning symbol at the top of the DIS. It disappears when the speedo goes above the set speed limit warning.

In my case:

Set at 60mph.........warning at 67mph, approx.

Set at 70mph.........warning at 77mph, approx.

Speedometer v speed limit...............one of them is fibbing........maybe both!

At least the warning mph's are consistent

Ok, had a look at VCDS - 17 - Instruments.



Went to Coding - 07. This popped up over the coding:



Clicked that off and here's the coding:



Couldn't figure out how to get to the 'bits' and 'bytes' part.

Had a look at this, starting at 1.28:

Seems my VCDS doesn't have any 'long coding helper' for the wheels

The only place I know that you can input any wheel data is in Adaptation Channel 01, Nav module. Format is wheel circumference in MM. It's supposed to be used to correct the navigation. It may or may not be used by 0x17 for the speed limit gong. Worth a try changing the value.

I'm bound to mess something in there Matty

Could you explain that in more detail please? In dummy language!

Anyway, how come the bloke in the vid has the wheel stuff on his VCDS and I haven't? I thought all VCDS would be the same?

This is my version:

VCDS Version: 21.3.0.0 (x64) HEX-V2 CB: 0.4543.4
Data version: 20210226 DS325.0

You'll be fine. Going from your previous posts you're doing well with VCDS.

Open 37-Navigation, then Adaptation, read channel 01, write down the current value just in case you may need it, then enter a new value (this will be you wheel circumference in mm), click Test then Save.

The guy in the video can access that info only because the control module lets him. He was working on a newer car platform and it is dependent what is written in the firmware, so it's not a feature missing from your VCDS. The software / firmware in the D3 is generations old now.

Ok, thanks Matty, I think I've got that.

But what will changing the wheel circumference in the Nav module actually do?

I've put my new(17"), and old (20"), tyre details into this calculator:

https://tiresize.com/comparison/

That was inches. This one is mm:

https://tiresize.com/comparison/

So, I put in 2167.........yes/no?

And thanks for explaining the Youtube VCDS stuff

EDIT: Sorry, can't get the links to work properly. Just click on the inches and mm to compare.

Well the Nav unit does want to know the wheel circumference and number of ABS wheel impulse. But like I said previous, it is for correcting the navigation. Whether or not this value is broadcast so other modules use it, I don't know. But it's worth changing the value if it makes any difference.

Yes. Although you could experiment with obviously small and larger values.

Ok, thanks Matty, I'll give it a go and report back.
