Mk6 golf gti vagcom coding
« on: 12 March 2013, 09:50 »
Ok, ive been trying to code in "stage dialling" on my golf, also known as dial sweep, but it isnt allowing me to code it in, gets to the end and says an error, my car is a 59 plate, ive read one or two things saying the early made mk6 golfs doesnt allow it??
Any help out there?
Cheers

It can only be done with certain types of clocks. Generally they need to have the 180mph GTI or .:R speedo.

What did you do? Just literally code it? As mine allows us to code, and then the last bit comes up with an error saying we cant do it??

This feature will not work if you do not have an "H" type cluster.

If the Inst Cluster is the 'D' revision, it'll work.

'H' type.

Sorry this is an old thread but

Tweak 4 – Cluster Staging / Gauge Needle Sweep
 
Now I've seen this feature on YouTube a few times but they only show the Golf GTI doing this. I searched around and a user on another forum who has a GTD as enabled this feature on his.
 
Now this will depend which type of instrument cluster you have fitted it must be an 'H' type. If you want to know how you find which type of cluster you have read here
 
Select 17-Instruments
 

 
Select Adaptation - 10
 

 
Select Staging from the combobox
 

 
If it hasn’t been changed it will say not active in the Stored value
 
Select active from the New value combobox and click Do It!. You will get a message are you sure you want to change not active to active just click yes.
 

 
Now when I activated mine I turned the ignition off then on and the needles didn’t sweep I tried this a couple of times. I turned off and removed the key then inserted it and turned on and the both needles swept.

Mines also a March '10 car and it took a few goes of turning on and off for it to activate once selected in Vagcom.
