Instrument Cluster/fuel Computer Info Required Please

[markchambers]

Does anybody know if it's possible to enable the instant mpg on a 02 2.3 (manual) fuel computer, I recently went out in a 2.3 "auto" and that had instant mpg on the fuel computer.

 

Just wondered if anybody new if it was possible with Vag-Com or any other software.

 

It says in the handbook that the instant economy is not available on the 2.3 but it obviously is if its auto?

the instant reading clears if the car has not been used for 120 mins

 

 

i did hear somewhere about the fuel computer set up with vagcom

 

good luck in your hunt

umm that was one on the advertised points of the mk2 ghia - should be enabled :) test drove a 2001 2.3 before getting our oil burner and it was definitely eabled - dealer put it throough its paces

it's a strange one.

 

On my fuel computer I have:

 

Average fuel economy (this resets every 120mins of no driving or I can reset it manually)

driving time (resets every 120mins of no driving or I can reset it manually)

Average speed (resets every 120 mins of no driving or I can reset it manually)

Miles covered (resets every 120 mins of no driving or I can reset it manually)

 

Then on the 2nd section (ie if I quickly press the reset button on the wiper stalk) I have :

 

Average fuel economy (resets when I reset it)

driving time (resets when I reset it)

Average speed (resets when I reset it)

Miles covered (resets when I reset it)

 

However on all the diesels I have seen and also the 2.3 auto I was out in there is also

 

Instant fuel economy which gives you your mpg in real time.

 

Surely this can be enabled with vagcom or other software
