Strange Speed/Revs Thing

Fantom · 26 Aug 2007 at 15:16

This is probably nothing but on a specific hill (going up) my speedo went up the gauge quicker than the rev gauge :confused:

its not even like my car is fast or anything :confused:

its a diesel 306 (ive never done it in any other car)

does this ever happen for anyone else? hope theres nothing wrong with my car
I will try to get a video sometime

If your speed moves faster than your revs, I'd have thought it can't be, especially given you said your going up a hill, therefore, I assume your in a lower gear already. :confused:

Edit: Just read the digital thing. Its a french car,and its an electrical problem , therefore I wave the white flag of surrender right now! - given the state of the electrics in my girlfriends Xantia, good luck sorting it, you'll need it!!!
