How to work MFA?

[rocket_ronnie]

Hope this doesnt seem dumb but has anyone got any instructions for the on board trip computer on the 2.0 8v?

End button cycles through modes, cannot remember the order.
The sliding button switches between trip 1, trip 2 and 0 on each side resets whichever trip its next to. Trip 1 resets after 1 and a half hours I think, trip 2 never resets you have to do it yourself.
I always used to reset trip 2 everytime I filled the tank to see what mpg's I was getting per tank.

mine barely even works, half the values dont change at all

yeah, i just got my 8v on fri, and i never had one on my 1.4 took a bit of getting used to the modes.

mode one resets after a set period
mode two resets when u reset it or it gives you a constant "average" for mph and mpg

if u look on the speedo it tells u all the things the trip comp does.

time, clock, mpg, average mph, how far uve travelled, temperature and oil temp

Did you know that there's secret functions on the MFA, tells you the rev limit,engine code,g60 boost pressure,decelaration fuel pressure and some other cool stuff

 

[ibiza_95]

tell me more

I've heard this too but never bothered to find out how to access it.

think most cars do, bmws certainly, my mates fiesta does.. its cool to get the revs up digitaly for some reason lol

Give this a try:

Hold the button in, turn your ignition on, off and on again

position 1:
Default: Engine code
1: Land code
2: Speedometer
3: Upper rev limitter
4: Lower rev limitter
5: Decelaration fuel pressure
6: Display test

MFA switch on position 2:
Default: Test programm of programmed bytes (checksum)
1: Intake Vacuum
2: Digital rev counter
3: Fuel usage (like normal)
4: Signal from speedo sensor
5: Oil temperature (like default)
6: Ambient temperature (like default)

Im lead to believe it gives a digital reading on the MPH to

 

[rocket_ronnie]

anyone tried this yet?

 

[Bogwoppit]

It worked on my Mk2 Golf, never got round to trying it on my 8v Cupra sport.

 

[NeoMagic]

I tried it but it only gives me 4 extra things. Im a 16v though.

 

[risted]

I just tried it in my 95 GTi 8v only gave me 3 extra things, aint got a clue what they were lol.

same as my old car (above post) just 3 things... one is 0.4 at stand still then when driving goes up at down 78..23..52 ect? the other 2 are just the normal oil and air temp

Just gace it a bash. I got the same, last 2 being oil temp and air tep. The other one that keeps going all over the place i think is the mpg at that particular moment as opposed to for the whole journey. While moving i took my foot off the accelerato and coasted and it went up to 99.9 and when flooring it, it went down to 12 then 18 then 16. Odd. And when standing still it stays at 0.2.

Anyone managed to get the digital rev read out?

 

[JVCupra2]

I ve got the same...mpg consumption at the particular moment, oil temp and weather temp, but nothing more Does anybody another way how to get the other info from MFA? I am quite interested in rev limiter

 

[kevcupra]

wow just given this a read and def going be trying that out before i leave for my trip home!! has it worked for anyone with a 16v!!
