  • MK5 GT Twincharger boost gauge?

    Does the MK5 twincharger have a boost gauge in the left hand of the two small gauges in the instrument cluster or is it a temp gauge like on the MK6?

    Boost gauge, but no numbers only lines

      Aha Thanks. MK6 has a temp gauge there. But it occurred to me that it might be possible with a Vag-Com coding change to make my gauge look at boost instead of temp. Will investigate this but highly unlikely I suppose.
      Anyone got a VCDS cable lying around who could do a scan of their MK5 twincharger Address 17: Instrument to see what coding is in there?
      Mine has Coding: 170B00
      I appreciate that there are numerous reason for differences but as a start I would like to see whats there on MK5 twincharger.

        the twincharger in the Golf 5 was marketed as a GT model, so more sporty, hence the boost gauge.

        its pretty pointless anyway as it doesnt show any numbers.

          Yeah that because its a % gauge and not a pressure gauge. It is supposed to show the % of available boost in use at any point which varies throughout the map. I have all the numbers I could possible want in VagCom. It just appealed to me to try to get it to work for the hell of it - to see if it can be done.
