Trip computer..........
« on: 22 October 2012, 16:44 »
in my 2.0 GTI it was fine until the other day it went a hay-wire and is now giving what looks like correct, incorrect and just plain ridiculous readings of 130mpg... :laugh: Any ideas?  Is this a common fault?

Cheers

I put £20 in my Mk2 in April and still have 1/4 of a tank left. Now that's economy.
