hi everyone. my first post here.
i have a 9 month old Iveco 7000 kg Daily van. i took it into a Daf, Iveco specialist to have some warranty work carried out. Been Italian most of the jobs involved the electrics. However whilst it was in i asked if they could turn up my tacho from 88 kph to 90 kph. No problem they said.
6 days later i get a call to say the van is ready. i collect it and was happy with the price, even happier that one job which was not strictly a warranty job had been done as if it was. i paid the bill in cash and off i went to pick up a load. once on the motorway i took it up to max speed…88 kph… what the hell… at a stop i checked the itemised bill and there it stated …adjust tacho to 90 kph…£67.00. phoned them up to find out what was going on. they phoned me back saying. that they could only adjust it to 91 kph. which is over. so they left it…
but you’ve charged me £67.00 for adjusting it…
my question is this…can you only adjust this model in 3 kph increments.?
well… I guess adjusting tacho is changing the speed over which it records overspeeding… right? or… did you mean adjusting the speed limiter? and btw… why did you have to pay for a warranty job?
doesn’t sound like a tacho issue …you need the speed limiter set to 90 kph …an iveco dealer should be able to do that .would imagine it would take a couple of mins
Sorry Folks i meant the speed limiter, was reading speed off the tacho as its a dam sight more accurate than the dash speedo. But am told it alters in 3 kph increments. just thought that was odd in this digital age. when you can adjust the cruise control in small increments.
much of the work was under the warranty, the van has done 76k since March last year. But a couple of jobs were off warranty cover. And after the van was purchased and went directly to a known insulator to have the rear panelled and fibreglassed, and returned to us, where we found that they had insulated between the wheel arches to the extent that the gap between them was 50mm less than a pallet…i trust so called professionals a little less than i used to.
you can adjust them to 1/10th of a kph if you want. it looks like you’ve been had.
try an independant place, main dealers are full of useless fitters. Independants are usually proper mechanics.
