Re: Reset check engine light??

thanks for the response,

yeah I know about the OBD2 tool but dont have one to hand to reset.

The light actually went out itself after some more driving so I guess the MAF sent the ECU the correct signal and it turned it off.

I will remember the batt disconnect trick tho for future

Re: 2.0 Tsi mpg

Wiz, Have you reset the onboard computer logs to clear out historical MPG readings - setting 2 on the Multi Function Display is cumulative "since the last reset" and could store up a lot of old, low-MPG trips. Setting 1 is the "current trip" which clears back to zero if the engi...

2.0 Tsi mpg

Hello, What are fellow 2.0TSI DSG owners getting mpg wise? I drive mainly urban but the car is saying 15-17 over 160 miles I've done in her now and when the tank was full only said range was 200 odd miles?? Seems way low to me as I'm not driving that spirited Car isn't mapped or modded .... Yet :p

Re: Throttle delay

Glad there are already experiencing this as I've come from NA 4.5ltr V8 to a 2.0ltr turbo petrol .. Had worked it out to just be turbo lag (didn't know it was fly by wire throttle) so I was thinking would a new map help and it seems so. I was already thinking about the Revo stage 1 so what maps did ...
