If someone swapped in a US speedometer cluster than that would explain your speed difference.
Hi,

the car was brought to the US in 1999 and yes, they federalized it and swopped the speedometers. That's why I mentioned above that I could easily detect the solder points for removing the speedometer since it has been replaced during the federalization process.

However, it was working correctly until last weekend when I swopped the gears and soldered the speedometer to access the gears.

So something most have gone wrong during that process...

Is there a way of adjusting an US speedometer for the different ratio?
Maybe I was soldering something that was inactivated before....?
