How to change display info
« on: August 23, 2011, 07:46:00 pm »
Just gotncar back and the high line display is now showing the number of minutes I have driven whereas before it was how many miles I had left form the fuel in my tank. How do I go about changing that back? Also how would I get average mpg display?

Thanks

Button on right hand lever. Toggles up and down.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I'm not being sarcastic, but have you got an owners manual with your car? All the fiddly info about info screens & so on (and there's a lot of it) is in the 'controls' section.

If you havent got one, I'd seriously recommend picking one up & having a skim through. I learn something else each time I read it :signLOL:

technically:

Switch key to first position - engages electrics, everything lights up on dash - give it a moment (i put my seatbelt on at this point) - now fully depress the clutch and turn the key all the way as you normally do and hold there only for as long as it takes the engine to start (which should just be a fraction of a second).

This method of starting the engine puts the least wear on the car because you are only asking the starter motor to turn over the engine and nothing else - its on page 112 of the 3.1 handbook  :happy2:

Staring the car? using the wipers correctly?  :surprised:

Maybe I should read up  :scared: I just start the car, put the wipers on and drive.

I am ashamed to admit, I haven't got the measure of the auto wipers yet, either that or they're broken...... :laugh:
