Picked up the new QQ today. I've noticed that the speedos don't match.

The needle speedo is fine, but the electronic one doesn't seem to be working, in as much as the speed doesn't move as you accelerate/brake. Is this a common known issue?

There is a difference between the two, about 1 or 2 mph. However my digital speedo moves with change of vehicle speed. My hunch is that the digital is the more accurate one.

That's the thing. It doesn't move. You can be going 40 and it would say 9.

If what I'm looking at IS a speedo. Its within the menu, where it shows trip info and distance to fill up etc

That doesnt look like a speedo readout. How old is the car? Try looking in your users manual.

Wonder what else it could be?

Its a 57 plate, 2.00 CDi Accenta.

The car didn't come with a manual, am looking to buy one.

I think that maybe it is showing your average speed.

From the photo, it looks like the MPH is not displaying anything because you're not moving.

The OP is referring to the number 14 on the central dial showing digital info, not the speedo dial to the right.

I was refering to the lower case "mph" on the central dial just below the number 14.............................
