jkspoff Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 I've not got a VAG thingy, so was wondering if a dealer would re-activate the 'global closure' feature and the 'tdi trip computer' for me and how much it would cost ?? Anyone ever had this done. As I believe the trip computer option is deactivated because of the risk of it being slightly incorrect with the tdi, although it would act as a rough guide. The global closure I understand was deactivated at manufacturing stage for health and safety reasons, but am I correct in thinking that they can be turned back on though VAG ?? <_< Quote
GSMGuy Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 AFAIK, the trip works fine, well it does on mine now I've turned it on! <_< Whether it is enabled or not depends on the trim level & options... But don't forget, it's not just a case of turning it on - you need to have the wiper stalk with the controls on it.. Easy enough to do though, why not do the Cruise control at the same time :) Global closure only works manually by turning and holding the key in the lock it can't be enabled on the remote - it simply isn't there.. The http://www.alientech.net/ window controller may or may not work... Needs a little research, but looks like a good idea.. HTH Mike Quote
Rallim Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 Just to clarify, do you mean the 'Range' measurement on the Trip Computer or the Trip computer itself. VW seem to have removed the range measurement on there TDI engines in general. I too would be intrested to know if this can be re-enabled, or if it had really been removed from the trip computers software. Gordon. <_< Quote

HTH Mike Mike, that link takes me to some search site, can you check it for me as I would be interested in total closure. Quote

jkspoff Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Posted May 31, 2005 Sorry I was a bit vague, I have the Ghia Tdi with the extra computer bits but no 'range' function, it was this that I wondered if it could be re-activated ?? Quote
GSMGuy Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 MM, the link works for me?? JKSpof, afaik the "range" seems to be missing on them all.. Weird since on my brother's 2001 A4 1.9tdi, the only thing he has is a "range" - no trip computer fitted... Mike Quote
Guest sufc38 Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 Hi, By 'Global Closure' do you mean all the windows & doors opening or closing using the remote key fob? Mike Quote
jkspoff Posted June 1, 2005 Author Report Posted June 1, 2005 Yes, windows closing automatically on pressing remote fob. Quote
Guest sufc38 Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 In that case I definatley have it. Just have to keep the button depressed on the remote key fob after locking or unlocking the doors. Quote
