[ivo098]

What's the speed at 6th gear and 3000 rpm of Leon 1.8 20VT and Leon 1.8 20VT4?

 

[LEE69]

1.8 20 VT is 80 mph.

 

[Mylo]

indicated, gps scores it a bit lower

 

[LEE69]

yeah mine is generally 5mph lower

 

[ivo098]

anyone with 20VT4, is it the same?

 

[slim20vt]

where you going with this one?

 

[smithygcupra]

mine is 80 i think lol ....all cars have optimistic speedometers (unless you have them calibrated) .... usually around the 3% mark i think

 

[JimCupra]

80 here too in LC 1.820vt....always thought 6th gear could be a bit longer personally, engine has the power to deal with it.

3000 rpm on standard 225/45/17 tyres is 72 mph (gps verified) The speedo indicates about 77

Tested this morning

As I understand it, it should be around 75mph - from remembering something I read, the 6-speed boxes are geared to 25mph/1000rpm in 6th - 1000rpm = 25mph, 2000rpm = 50mph etc. Mine always reads a bit higher than that on the speedo as well though.

There are 4wd diesels as well.

Before the remap 3k would equate to speedo reading of 65mph.
Now 3k equates to 80mph.

 

[danny20vt]

mine did 80 (kph ) aswell


i wonder how many Leons were doing 80 this morning?

 

[LEE69]

before the remap 3k would equate to speedo reading of 65mph.
Now 3k equates to 80mph.

impossible mate, unless the remap changed the gear ratios or tyre circumferences
