My 2005 NB now has oversize tires of 205/60/16 from the stock of 205/55/16. 3.16% difference. Speedo is nearly right on. I want to set the odo back to correct with VCDS. When looking at the RT site my NB falls between the cracks as there is no listing for a 2005 NB. Anyone have instructions on resetting the distance impulse multiplier for a 2005 NB? Old posts from 2006 say it isn't possible.

It should be last number in coding of address 17 instruments,but lot of USA cars does not support that.When you click on coding ,there should be pop up window with options for coding.
Most of the cluster software does not support this function.
If you have 0 most likely you want be able to change it.
If you have 1,2,3,or 4 then you should be able to do it.
