all gti,s have a secret digital revcounter

[black_vr6]

did u know that if u hold ure MFA to position 2 reset and hold whilst turning off and on the ignition and starting the car the digital display becomes a revcounter

[Judderi]

no i didnt but can you elaborate a bit? Whats position 2. Slider bit or the button on the end?

I tried it last night and laughed all the way down the road to 7000 revs!

I cant get it to work on a 1989 GOLT GTI 8v

I tried it today on my 1994 GTi 8v.
The MFA just went mad!!!!

The funny thing was that once in this weird mode, when set to 'mpg' it showed 0.2 when idling. Then when i drive it shoots upto 99.9, and then all over the shop..??

The other thing I found was that you could only flick through the mpg, Oil Temp and outside temp status.
So, No it didnt work, 'mpg' just showed lots of useless numbers. Once the car was switched off and back again, all went back to normal

hi  


i tried that at the weekend there very good. there was about a 2 sec delay with the rev counter and the digital display. but its still good. once the car is switched off it goes back to normal.

cant get it to work on my golf 89 GTi8v

do u leave it on the clock? then stop and start the car?

You start the car. move the switch to number 2 then hold the button on the end in while turning the car off then back on again still holding the button in. once the car is restarted release the button and then press it a couple of times till the digital rev counter kicks in.
