My first GTI just delivered...

DRL's can be turned off, well they can on mine. Put key in ignition, Pull indicator stalk towards you and up. Hold in that position. Turn ignition on for several seconds and then switch off. Release stalk and DRL's should be off. To turn them on again it is the dame procedure but pull the stalk towards you and down. Hope this helps.

The problem is it does not work from a certain build date when xenons are fitted.


So does your MFD display look different to mine?

[dave7268]

Aha, must be down to the build date then. Mine was built in '09.

Initially when I tried to turn off my DRL's As per manual it wouldn't work. so I went along to my VW dealer and they refused to turn them off, stating that is was an inbuilt safety feature and they wouldn't do it! Then I found out via the forums how to turn them on/off. Forums are great!!   

No, my MFD is exactly the same as yours

dave7268 If how to turn them off was posted on this forum or a few other UK forums it was probably me who posted it 

The photo of the display was for the original poster 'Martw' sorry for confusing you with that, im not very good in written words explaining what i meen.  :embarassed:

[dave7268]

  No problems Snoopy. Was kinda wondering about the MFD question! 

Yes, it was on another forum that I found the info and if that was your post then "kudos" to you, it was a great post!

Your mpg is pretty good. You seem to be getting nearly 350 miles on a full tank. That is 120 miles more than me! I've done 1140 miles so far.

Mine lies too and a bit more than yours.
Car used only in heavy stop/start traffic.
50 litres = 11.1 gallons for 220 miles.
That is just shy of 20mpg. Computer says 25mpg average.
Not a happy bunny.

I would ask the dealer to put the oringnal map back on the car, to get MPG as it should be?? Got give a try or get it mapped

Maybe I am an overly enthsiastic driver?
