I thought this all came as standard from your wiper stalk function, moving it up and down on the MK5.

No mate, if you look at the end of your wiper stalk, you'll have an up and down button like below:



This filters through the trip computer and readings that are available for your vehicle. I can't comment on the TDI but my GTI has

MPG Total
MPG Current
Temp
Total Miles
Drive time

Maybe a couple others I've forgot.

What model do you have?!

Are there not controls on the wheel?! On mine, it was the up and down button on the wheel?!

Would i be able to fit a midline/highline cluster and stalk on mine and get it to work that way?

If it's not on your wheel or wiper stalk. I doubt you'll have it. Might be possible to fit if you've got the little computer thingy....
