Newbie Without Manual Mk1 Galaxy Ghia 2.3

[vikingsraven]

HI, just bought a MK1 2.3 Ghia, loving the vehicle. Ex VW transporter owner.

Im just trying to work out what the dispalys show, the mileage counter only shows milage done and below that service ---- , the one on the right shows MPG this one seems to work, MPH which shows between 22 and 40 ( is this average speed?), one that has a number and a fuel pump( i presume this is how many miles i can got on the fuel remaining), a timer for the journey, but theres another clock display, which seems to be at about 60 hours.

is there supposed to be a trip counter in miles?

 

My cruise control isnt working at the mo, im changing the pipe tomorrow as the end had rotted away, but what do the buttons do on the indicator stick, are they suppose to reset the other clocks ( on the right hand display?).

As i dont have a manual for it , im a bit in the dark.

Could someone please explain thier operation to me.

 

Thanks

The total mileage is as you say on the speedo, below that is the trip mileage, re setable by the black button below it and to the left. If your trip mileage is temporarily showing service interval then it can be re set to return it to trip function, info is on here somewhere, a quick search should bring it up.

 

The other (rev counter) read out is the computer that shows a number of things that can be viewed by repeatedly pressing the button on the end of the right hand stalk. (There are 2 seperate memories, "MF1" and "MF2" Press either the top or bottom of the button to switch between the 2 lots of data)

 

Info readout is:

Journey driving time

Average fuel consumption

Average journey speed

Remaining fuel range

and also outside temperature if digital climate control is not fitted. 2.8 and diesels also display oil temp.

 

All these values can be re set by holding the button down for 2 seconds.

 

Left hand (indicator) stalk buttons relate to cruise control. Slide switch left to switch cruise control on, then at the required speed press the button on the end to set speed. Press and hold button again to increase speed. If cruise control is disengaged (other than switching it off by sliding the button to the right) IE by touching the clutch or throttle, then previous speed can be resumed by sliding the switch to the left as marked "res".
