It should be vice versa, no? At least here in Europe that is. The speedo shows a higher speed than the actual one.

In the uk speedos always read a higher amount than the actual amount.
That is,
Speedo speed = 30mph, Actual Speed = 27mph.

Yes, I should read my posts before clicking send.

I actually like this 'feature', as I tend to drive around about 10 mph higher than the posted speed limits, which generally the police will let you have - so in the case of the Audi, an indicated 10 mph over is really more like 7 mph over, which is better for the driver's license....

I have checked the speedo in both my A4 (2002) and Passat (1995) by timing the interval between mile markers on the highway at a constant speed (65mph). Both were within 1mph of the calculated result.
