Title: I've just got a new golf mark 6, How do you work it?
Post by: London on 24 May 2011, 16:50
Hello, Hi..

New to the forum and new owner of a golf mark 6 since yesterday!

I need help, SERIOUS HELP! The car before was a ford fiesta which just had seats and a steering wheel. This is alittle bit more tricky.

Why does the thing beep every time I go over 20 mph? I have my seat belt on I think the lady owner before set it to that... How do I change it?

The car displays the speed in kilmefefenjfe or what ever on the bottom of the electronic display and is there a way to change this to mph?

Finally last problem, I cant stop driving the bloody thing! I will purposly go out of my way to do things for people as long as I get to drive it!!! I find myself in the middle of nowhere without a reason!!! I suppose theres no cure for that until I become bored aye?

Just wait til you find yourself on an empty  country road at 3am instead of in bed with a beautiful woman.

It will beep over a certain speed if the speed warning has been set. You can adjust or cancel this using the menu on the DIS. Your Handbook will tell you how.

The digital speedo in KPH is there because you only have MPH on the main speedo dial. It is possible to change this to MPH, but you need VAG COM or VCDS and the appropriate lead to plug into the cars diagnostic port to do this. From what you have said, This is probably best left alone.

this thread is a typical example of the level of intellect of brand new car owners

^^^This post is typical of someone with no intellect!

The thread is posted by someone who has bought a second hand car genius.

Coming from a Fiesta to a car that somewhere in the long and deepness of the menus asks you at what percentage of brightness would one like the footwell lights, is a big step.
I, and pretty much everyone here, can't expect someone to jump into a car, regardless of age, and expect to know EVERYTHING about it?

Welcome to the forum. It sounds like your car is speed limited. You're probably going to have to drive everywhere at 19mph. A couple of us have had the problem, you might want to look at Revo Stage III, that'll sort the problem out.  :grin:
