digital gear indicator missing from DIS - FIXED
« on: 08 February 2011, 17:17 »
ajmoir36 - The pic shows the digital gear indicator what year and month is your GTD? I tried to get them to enable it on my Jan 2010 GTD but they say they couldn't. I said the spec quotes that all 2010 Golfs should have this feature. I've heard of 2009 models having it. They just say i must have an old dash. I'm not that bothered about it its just that its supposed to be there but it isn't.

I have a Vagcom maybe I will try and look to see if its in there, but maybe I need the SKU or code what ever for access to the clocks?
I have VCDS but I don't see any options for it, not that I've searched thoroughly though.  :wink:

You said it was off topic in your post so I split it up in the hope to get more answers for you  :wink:

Shall I delete or put it in the MK6 section to get further advice?

I said it was off topic because the thread was talking about GTD MPG but ajmoir36 showed a picture of his MFD that was showing the digital gear indicator.

I don't mind if you move to the MK6 section if you think it will attract more interest.

Cheers Doc.  :wink:

It might be something to do with an ecu update?

My old 2009 golf gt tsi went in with engine probs and had the ecu updated. When I got it back there was the gear change info on the highline display.

Well when I asked about this feature they took it in the workshop and plugged in their diagnostic kit and nothing was found. The service receptionist had a look on his computer at all the mods and updates that could be done 380+ of them and we both had a read through them but there was nothing listed. They disconnected the battery to reset all settings but it still couldn't be found.

So if there is an update they didn't know about it.  :wink:
