how do you get the needle sweep?

 

[Lee M]

Also another one, to make both left and right of your dual zone climate control go up as one, hold the AUTO button for 3 secs

I'm glad this thread came up again not seen it before....I wondered if this could be done

Needs 'Staging' to be enabled by someone who has VAG.COM.

Found out by accident today, if you don't press the middle peddle when approaching another stationary vehicle....

No middle pedal on mine...

Now they tell me!

To re-set the sevice indication (if your dealer forgets to do it like mine did....)

1. Press and Hold the Odometer knob in
2. Turn the ignition on (do not start the car though)
3. Turn the odometer knob to the right and hold for about 5 secs.
4. Release odometer knob and switch ignition off.
5. Start car, Service indicator should now be gone

This one is brilliant, we just reset ours, thanks for posting this...

im pretty certain everyone should know that one and it should work clockwise too. Also when you hold the lock button down on your keys...

here's one for you, not useful just trivial. Noticed it with my PD and CR.

Say your on the motorway, set CC @ 70 and then reset your MFD and put it on Average speed, on both cars now it has stayed at 65 for many miles, just a fault with the calculation? or are the speedo's 5mph too high (would explain a few ppl's top speed figures )

This happens on my car too

I have even had cruise set at 70, reset the computer, waited as you do, maybe 15 secs for the computer to begin recording data, flicked into average mph, and low and behold 65mph.

 

[GrahamFR]

I wonder what the reason is for this?

I dont think the computer works things out right as my mpg has never been correct when i have worked it out myself or checked it other calculators.

Speedo will always read over by about 5mph at 70. The one on the trip computer will probably just be more accurate (digital display as opposed to analogue one for the speedo).

Cruise control:
Hold reset to speed up,
Hold set to slow down.
Flick the on switch half way to cancel.

Just notice this owned the car 18 months.

Not only is that in the manual, but is also on the stalk.

No they will read the same. They use the same data. The speedo will NOT always
read over by 5mph, it depends on your wheel and Tyre combination.

Get a GPS based speedo and compare with your car speedo to see how much it over reads and those with winter alloys and summer alloys may find a difference.

Hmmm so it does

 

[Dale_tem]

I am a bit anal about things I own, like to know how everything works, what does what etc.
