Re: MFD not retaining last setting

Final update! Promise no more. When I got the car back from having other work done they had de-selected showing the speed limit setting from the mfd in the options, along with a few others. Surprise surprise it no longer reverts to it but stays at what ever it had been last set on - including oil te...

Re: MFD not retaining last setting

Ok so I've had the reply from VW via the dealership regarding this. The official response is that this is a known issue with the 2.0 tsi motor though there have been no problems reported - ?! When the engine is turned off terminal 15 is switched off and as the vehicle cools then the oil temp is remo...

Re: MFD not retaining last setting

Yes, modern cars and their electronics! RW1, assuming you have the same unit in your car - it retains the setting you were last viewing? Just trying to make sure that mine is definitely the odd one out.

Re: MFD not retaining last setting

Yep - tried them all! Makes no difference. It retains distance and consumption figures and such like when I scroll through them, so the memory is working, just not what screen it was left on.

Re: Alloy Wheels

These guys are used by Lexus - maybe not the cheapest or quickest but excellent service and results.

MFD not retaining last setting

The MFD when I start up the car if it has been turned off for more than say 10 minutes always shows the speed alarm set up screen. My previous Scirocco always retained whatever you'd had set such as oil temp before turning off the ignition. If I turn off the ignition and turn it straight back on aga...

Re: Niggles

That rattle from the engine bay in the 1500 - 2000 rpm zone. Sounds like a Lada. A new one. Rubbish headlights - why don't VW even put in projectors as the base unit? Manual coming home lamp function. No back seat vent units in the armrest. That cup holder unit. Side door bins far too small. No pock...
