Suzuki Alto Speedometer

maersk · December 9, 2007

Hey lads… to save few quids from ever increasing fuel price recently I bought a Suzuki Alto with 50000km on the meter. And it does really good on petrol too. But the Speedo meter is not indicating the correct speed. I compare speed with another car & my Alto speed is about 10km/h less around 50km/h speed & it doesn’t go beyond 60km/h. Also 2 high speed tickets confirmed something wrong with the speed indication!

I took the car to few auto electricians & but none of them managed to sort out the problem. Also my tire size is unchanged with original 12’.

Can any of you suggest a remedy or a recommend a good auto electrician around Kandy for me please?

Cheers!

The obvious suggestion would be to check the speed sensor which works with the transmission- it works on electric pulse-get an Electrician to see if its giving out a stable reading- thereafter decide on whether to change it or service it

Hopefully you can just service it and save a 'few quids' in Kandy
