Noticed my intentional typo  :wink:

It actually stands for Multi-Funktions-Anzeige, which roughly translates into Multi function display or something.

Not seen very low temps on mine.

I did have a Mondeo company car that was affected by wind speed and saw minus 13 on there one day! :laugh:


happy to hear that Suzy - hope it runs sweet for you!

Same here, never seen mine below zero even when it's -5 outside.

brr... lowest I seen is -2.

fuel ecomony only shows about 15-18mpg on my trips to work now, 5mins down the road kinda thing. I used to get average 37mpg and up to 46mpg on my 80round trip long commutes. But then I had to fill up mid week, now if i didn't travel over the weekends I wouldn't have to fill up a couple of weeks :grin:

although, I think my mpg has gone down a little since fitting exhaust, do I need to reset ecu for it to readjust?

You could try doing a reset by disconnecting the battery, but that usually only takes it out of safe mode.
The Mass air sensor should do any adjustments.

is it a performance exhaust?

if so, then it will lower your MPG, virtually all performance mods do have some sort of detrimental effect on MPG.  :sad:
