Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Ta again Tonba.
    Wait till you realize it is about 7 k fast at 100kph.

    All VW speedos are about that far out.

    Is completely legal unfortunately.

    I have bought (not brought) a Polaris HUD which puts the true speed just below eye level on the windscreen.

    Far better idea.

      Agree with Hillbilly (hate that).

      I did find out the other day that you could fine tune the speedo of Octavias with VCDS - hadn't heard that one before and maybe also works with other VW variants.

        Yeah, my Falcon was no more than 1 out and was always overtaking euro cars sitting on 104 doing 103 less 2 (radar error) = alleged 101.
        So in the Yeti 110 in 100 zone should be ok on what I've seen compared to my TomTom readout.
        So what does the HUD look like?........sounds good.

          We tried to do that with both cars The Polo was unreceptive and the Passat came down 2 k. Am open to someone else trying to fix it.

              Aw, sorry to treat you like a slave
              Actually I'd be happy if I could simply magnify the central display somehow. That'd do me.

                  Were you trying to change the distance impulse number ?

                    In a 2010 Polo what digit do you need to bring it down from 7k fast and a Passat from 6 k fast.

                    I remember about no 7 being stock or similar.

                    Whatever was tried didn't work.

                    I was driving Helper was sitting beside me

                      It's all trial & error.

                      For some numbers it may even give an error "öutside parameters" or similar

                        Mostly error in my case LOL

                        What I meant was If the setting is already on 7 what would you try to reduce the error.

                            We tried on the Polo but made no difference. May try again one day

                              i have taken the plunge and pick up a Black Yeti TDI-DSG one of the last of the runout i believe.
                              Ive owned a tiguan and a caddy before, currently have a colorado, but havent really taken to it.

                              Partner purchased a Skoda Roomster 1.2 TSI and that is a great little machine.

                              Whilst sniffing around the Yeti made more and more sense. I do big mileage with work so a five year unlimited warranty and cheap interest helped me make the decision and I think the Yeti is a great looking rig
