As I've had a private request for an Excel spreadsheet, here it is!

Hi guys I made a Google Sheet which explains everything. I'm not sure exactly how to share a read-only spreadsheet with certain cells unlocked for you to change but which don't save. Either way I've granted View rights to it. It may mean you have to make a copy to your own account to use it...

Wow a blast from the past! Sorry for not answering the messages guys, I must have disabled the email notifications or lost them in the shuffle. I remember doing all that research in my moms car like 5 or 6 years ago. I probably still have the spreadsheet someplace. I recall looking through...

Well, I'd love to have an exhaustive list of wheel/tire combinations vs. distance impulse numbers, but I'm at the mercy of other people doing their own leg work and sending me accurate data since I don't have 20+ different sets of tires to stick on the car and measure. All I'm pretty sure of at...

I've properly solved it! This is no longer a mystery! I had a look in the VCDS label file for my cluster (1K0-920-xxx-17.lbl) and that gave me an insight into the higher numbered measuring blocks I didn't even know existed. I saw that measuring blocks 201 was for distance impulse number and 202...

Wow I can't believe that I totally forgot about that!!! :o I suppose a lot has happened since last July... moved across the pond, got married, etc. I thought this all sounded like familiar territory, but I couldn't put my finger on it. It must also be the reason why I have a file called...

This isn't one of your bog standard "ZOMG MY SPEEDO IS OUT BY X%!!1!" threads that we've all been seeing for the last 5-6 years. I spent at least 8-10 hours this weekend reading, searching and thinking about this (4 day weekend.. I got bored) and none of the posts you've linked answers my...

Does anyone know how the Distance Impulse Numbers are calculated? For the record, I know my speedo reads high, but I'm not sure of the odometer's accuracy because believe it or not mile markers on the motorways in the UK are in kilometers! Luckily I can easily change my cluster in the MFD to km...

Yeah that annoys me. It should show gallons/hr at least, but here in the UK we use litres so L/hr would also work. Only the baby boomers and older really still talk about gallons. In an ideal world you would be able to choose exactly which units you want displayed for whatever individual thing...

One step ahead of you.. I enabled that as soon as I plugged in the VCDS when I picked up the car.

I had a look at the manual and it says for Auto Unlock that all doors unlock when that option is selected. As far as my testing went, I must have spent about 3 hours or more in total futzing around with it and there was nothing I could do to make it work the way I want. The MFD settings were...

Depends what you mean by that. A friend of mine imported an '06 Jetta 2.5L gasser from the States. He's only got the half height, non-MFD display, but the following applies universally: The water temp gauge will be in °F, and unless the car comes with the Climatronic (i.e. automatic climate...

As a matter of fact I do speak German, though I'm a little rusty at the moment. Do you have a link to a PDF for the German manual? Also your car is a 2009 model. Quite a few things changed between 07 and 09. I'll have a look in my manual now and see what it says about the feature. I'm sure your...

Hey all, Sorry if this info has been posted already, but I've searched and couldn't find it. My previous car was a Canadian spec 2002 Jetta. The way I had that set up was the fob would unlock drivers then all doors and auto unlock would open all doors. This is how I want my current car to...

*Note: This is all second hand info from my parents over the phone Year: 2009 Build Date: ? Make/Model: Jetta Wagon Tranny: 6M Mileage: ~45,000km Diesel Fuel Source: Ste. Anne Co-Op Additives: No Problem: The gas station attendant filled the car with gas despite being told to fill with diesel...

There's and even better model that will also never likely appear on North American shores, the Audi Q7 V12 TDI. Base cost in Germany is €132,400, but you get a 500HP engine (no idea about torque, but I suspect it's insane) with decent fuel economy for what it is, 11,3L/100km combined...

On my mom's '09 and my buddy's '06, we've found that random pieces of foam stuffed in like in the above pic seem to disappear over time, probably sucked out while driving. Has anyone else using this method also had this problem, and what did you do to fix it? Off the top of my head, I suppose...

Those look fairly similar to the new Audi A4's, especially the tail lights. I rented a large family car (Passat/Mondeo sized) about 2-3 weeks ago and ended up with a brand new Audi A4 SE with 2.0 TDI, 6 spd and 57 miles on the clock (UK spec, 60 reg, so possibly the 2011 model?). It was quite...

I have no idea... all I know is that the car has 205/55R16's and on the driveway they were 10mm+ short of their listed diameter on the tire size calculator (www.1010tires.com is what I used) due to the car's weight and other factors. VW must have taken that into account with their selection of...

Just some background to the math and some stuff I've thought about overnight. My tire diameter measurement was done on the driveway with a measuring tape. I'm supposing that while the car is in motion, the tire's diameter increases slightly from centrifugal force and heat expansion. It's not...
