That's what the Russian EPC says - 3.69 in Europe but 3.92 in the US of A {This might not be reliable information - sometimes there's a different differential for manual and automatic transmissions}

Still in either case - what ever (!) - it is best to check the one on the car in the scrap yard it could have had anything fitted to it in a previous life; you can never tell.

{I'd be tempted to see if the damn thing worked first before calibrating speedometers - these days those smart phones have GPS speed indicating aps anyway so a temporary solution can be made}
