Hi all - new to the forums and I hope someone can help me
I have a 2008 Captiva CX7. Brought it in Jan 2012.
Last year about a month after we purchased, we noticed the speedo was 20kms out - when we were parked, the speedo read 20.
Took it back to the dealer, they had it for 5 hours and couldn't fix it, got it home and a mate disconnected the battery for 10 minutes and it was all good.
Now almost a year to the day later, it has happened again except this time it is 40kms out.
I have disconnected the battery and am about to reconnect it but before I go taking it to Holden - has anyone seen or experienced this issue before? I am told it could be the instrument cluster (which is apparently about $800 to replace) or the speed sensor.
Any help would be massively appreciated
Cheers
Adam
