I have a 2012 2.0TDI-170 A3 Sportback at the moment with an s-tronic (DSG) gearbox which I love. But there are several things including the touch screen infotainment setup in the Golf that I prefer to the new A3. I do have one query which I hope someone will be happy to answer for me.
In the MFD screen (the one between the instruements rather than the larger touch screen) is it possible to get it to display the numbers of miles of fuel left before I would need to fill up. I have my A3 set to this at the mement and find it very useful and I cannot find any picture of the MFD which shows the options available to disply. Thanks.

Yes it will show miles left of fuel (Range)

It's also really easy to flip between the different read outs using the button on the steering wheel. I have mine set to digital speed. Wish there was a bit more colour in it!
-
I tend to be switching between speed and consumption. You're right though, could prob use a bit of colour.

Have I missed this? Where is the digital speed in there?
-
its in there :)
I spend most of the time between consumption and speed, and would love a way to organise them so they are closer together when flicking through!, or have them both on the screen at the same time!
-
If it doesn't show then it needs to be selected in the car menu on the head unit, you can choose what displays and what doesn't.
-
You can use the car menu / setup to remove some of the read outs. I have mine adjusted so I'm on digital speed; flip up once for avg consumption then flip back down once and back to digital speed.

Ok, a stupid question. Is there the oil temperature read out as in the mk6???
-
Also another quick question...
As I'm out in Cyprus (which uses metric measurements) and with how 'busy' the speedo dial is, can you switch the MFD speed readout to KMH rather than MPH?
-

There is an oil temp readout, its one of the screens as you scroll round.

Yes :)
-
There is an oil temp screen and there's also a small dial in the speedo dial.
Not sure about changing the mph readout to kph. I have a feeling I may have seen it in the options but will check to confirm.

Yes, although i cant remember if that was via VCDS or the car console! but i remember seeing it!

Many thanks. I don't remember seeing a smaller dial in the speedo dial... What's it's function?
-
I think that's just for the UK. The rest of the world just has km/h. (Except the US but it's not out their yet)

The dial is for coolant. ;)
-
Oh, yes, of course. I forgot that one :laugh:
-
Ah ...I thought he ment the small kph display inside the normal mph speedo :smiley:
-
I see there is a communication problem... Those who got theirs seem to have shortage of brain capacity after delivery :wink:

Everyday is a learning day... Really should get around to reading the manual - who knows what other mistakes I'm making :laugh:
-
Just for reference here is a few pics of my multifunction display options, i've removed some to make MPG and speed closer together, so no Oil temp etc :P (was stopped at the lights :) )
