What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Marshall]

Done, Thanks very much. That's much better.

Should have been that way from the factory.

I never look at my main speedo now I always use the digital.
When pulling away fast from a standing start it jumps up 9 mph at a time

Managed to get a video of the sound now I had the decat fitted.
Damn it is loud, too loud for my liking really but my god it sounds mean. The DSG pops and bangs are unreal, its like a gun shot on gear changes.

You can hear it on the vid a little but it sounds much better in real life. I was also changing quite early at 5k, at higher revs the dsg pops even louder. I could'nt stretch the legs as there were speed humps every 50m so I could only get it up to second gear

You can also see the 6000k HIDs too, they are superb.

Found it



Step 1: Connect up to VCDS/VAGCOM in the usual manner, then select Instruments under the Select Control Module menu.

Step 2: Select the Coding sub-menu

Step 3: Select Long Coding Helper

Step 4: Select Byte 0 Bit 4.7 drop-down menu then select 10 Country: Rest of World (RoW)

Step 5: Exit Long coding helper then hit "Do it"

That's all you have to do on VCDS/VAGCOM but now you will have to change your MFD Settings, Units menu to the correct UK format from US format (imperial to metric).

Step 6: Un-tick the Alt.speed dis to activate the "Alternative Speed Display"

Step 7: Final stage - Change your units for Consumption to MPG and Temp to ˚C.

The above now set thx Andrew for setting and I would agree with Nath, this should be a factory standard set

 

[AndrewJB]

unfortunately if it was set by factory it would be illegal due to not having KPH on clocks

im guessing this option is for Spain etc who have KPH Clocks

 

[matt l]

not today but on saturday, cleaned it and attempted to vinyl the number plate recess and bottom bit, turns out vinyling is not my strong point definately needs to be done by a pro

In VCDS

by law you have to have both MPH and KPH...ive only got MPH now

nope this isnt true as Civic's have a switch for it to go between the 2

That's the point though, they can still see KPH if they want. With the Leon's system, if you want MPH on the MFD, you have to change to RoW and then you can't see KPH anymore. If they could have been bothered, they could have put a switch on the Leon.

Fixed my aircon issue... Changed the switch. 25quid.
Regassed 0 quid.

Happy lad. Winning.

after you have set it up you only have to tick alternative display to get it back so i consider that the same as the switch

we need a swith then lol as at the moment we have to be stationary to change it

 

[LeonCR]

The switch is there to make it legal, you can switch it back to KP/H at any moment

We cant now we need to physically log into VCDS

Don't need to have VCDS mate just tick alternate display and its back to normal

To slow

i really dont think its gonna matter the fact you have to be stationary, but hey who cares i got it and im happy, if i go to europe then i'll do it while on euro runnel

But you can change this in the MFD from KPH to MPH

 

[AndrewJB]

I think the legallity is though that you must have KPH displayed at all times, if SEAT gave you the option to set it to MPH it wouldnt of been allowed.

Not sure but who cares we have all got it now

cant be true thou as like i said in the Civic its a switch

and you know SEAT can be funny about even the simplest things

 

[AndrewJB]

Oh yeh they can

Easiest thing is to display both MPH and KPH Digitally at the same time problem solved
