Guest Boogiebus Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 Can anyone help me with the vag-com code number required to enable the Trip Computer in my Gal. 2004 Zetec 1.9Tdi 130 with ESP - Manual. Thanks Quote
jkspoff Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 I would be very interested to see where you get with this, as I too have been trying to find out...... :( Quote
GSMGuy Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 Do a search, and I have definately posted the recode procedure and numbers from when I did mine.. Mike Quote
Guest Boogiebus Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 Thanks Mike :blink: I have now tried the number quoted in one of your previous postings - but unfortunately trying 13421 to enable is not accepted by the instrument control module (17) after login. Perhaps its due to mine being a manula gearbox ? or was the number posted incorectly ? Brian Quote
GSMGuy Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 Brian - man/auto DOES make a difference, i'll have to root, but I had a link to a full listing... gimme until tomorrow as I am in the middle of planning 3 jobs lol.. Mike Quote

Guest Boogiebus Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 Mike Have just realised that my instrument cluster is coded as 13401 but I cannot seem to recode it - vag-com lets you type in a new code (it warns me to make a note of the old number first ) but it then seems to do it but just comes back as being coded as 13401 Do I need version 4 or is version 3 of vag-com OK ? or am I doing something completely wrong ? do you need to log in with the SKC or something ?? I found an internet link which suggests that the first 2 digits of the code set the options, the 3rd digit is the country (4 is UK) the 4th digit is the service interval and the last digit is a speedo rev factor depending on which transmission you have. Although this is for a mk4 golf !!! but I'm sure the shalazy is similiar. :unsure: Brian Quote
Guest Boogiebus Posted September 16, 2005 Report Posted September 16, 2005 :) RightI have now tried some more My cluster is currently coded as 01401 (Brake pad wear indicator enabled) I can change it to 00401 (no brake pad wear indicator)I can change it to 05401 (brake pad wear indicator & Windscreen washer sensor) I cannot add in the code (8) to enable the trip computer functions ie 13401 is taken in ok but leaves the code in the cluster unchanged Perhaps since my Zetec Galazy is Manual, the display is not there - auotmatics will have it to show the gear selection - or do you have to turn the computer / display on in the ECU or somewhere else first ?? Vag com reports the following from the instrument cluster - 17VAG No. 7M5 920 900MKOMBINSTRUMENT VDO V60SOFT CODING 01401SHOP No. WSC00020 can someone out there perhaps with a manual diesel please let me know what their inst cluster is reported as - it would be usefull to know what the numbers from an Auto are too. Please can you also indicateif you have a trip computer too. thanks Brian Quote
greg_68 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Posted September 16, 2005 I see your Galaxy is a 2004 and therefore still within warranty. Is there no restriction on you dabbling with the on board diagnostics and voiding the warranty. If I were Mr Ford and registered that the customer was altering the settings etc I don't think I would accept any claims after that. Maybe worth checking out before changing. Quote
Guest Boogiebus Posted September 16, 2005 Report Posted September 16, 2005 Thanks for advice Greg - Gal now 15 months old and done over 60K !!! no extended warranty :D Would like to add a few creature comforts to help with all those miles....... Brian Quote
seatkid Posted September 16, 2005 Report Posted September 16, 2005 Would like to add a few creature comforts to help with all those miles....... Try a girlfriend, or if you're married, a mistress..... :D :blink: On second thoughts, scrub that advice..... Quote
Guest Boogiebus Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 :)Seatkid if I did try a girlfriend to help with all those long miles you are probably right I then wouldnt have a wife and probably be missing some various other parts too !!! Has no one had time or the inclination to vag com their instrument clusters to see what they report back for me ? Or has anyone actually enabled the trip computer in their Manual Diesel Shalazy ?? ThanxBrian Quote
