numbers on wiper stalk!?


Recommended Posts

Nos button would be nice!!!! ha

Its a trip computer...like a tacho thing...you know like to record your mileage like you would in any car(you would press the button by the clock to see cars overal milage or display mileage since last pressed...say when you filled up with fuel and reset it).

Only vw do a little more...lol

basically you have 2 numbers, one number for total trip info one for single trip.

lets say click it to number '1', but hold it to the left first to clear it. Now off on a journey if you tap the mfa button each press cycles through info such as, mileage(distance travelled), average mpg, temp,time etc you will work it out by the symbol.(each time you press it a tiny arrow points from a painted symbol around the screen,illustrating wha is being displayed).

Say you have finished your journey and you heading back home(hold it far right first to clear number '2's reading) this again does exactly the same.

Now when that journey is finished you have taht info, if you clicked it to number 1 again, number 1 carried on recording info for the 'total trip', whilst number 2 recorded the single trip. You can compare then info.

dont cry when you read the mpg reading ha ha the quicker you drive the lower the number ha ha!!

long winded sorry but does that help!??

press the button until you get fuel consumption up (MPG) you have position 1 for trip position 2 for overall MPG the zeros either side zero the calculations 0 left to reset trip 0 right to reset overall just slide and hold in 0 position until it has reset

yea its quite nice little function - jus avoid the mpg read out lol!

another little function which i quite like and didnt kno to begin with is ur adjustable intermittant wiper! push the wiper stalk down and it wipes not constantly but every so often yes? well, push it down once and then put it in the cancel position straight away.....count to....say....5 then push the stalk back down and leave it. wipers will come on every 5 seconds! push down, lift up, count toooooo....7, push down and they come on every 7 seconds! etc......

amazing! well was for me lol
