MKIV VW Jetta Golf Multi Function Indicator in Gauge Cluster
Posted this due to some demand from people wondering about this somewhat rare option. Properly known as the Multi-Funktions Anzeige or MFA, this came on GTI, GLI and GLX models. The winshield wiper stalk is used to toggle between the 5 modes. The button on the bottom of the stalk toggles between the "1" (saved current trip) and "2" (saved overall trip).
In the video, the displays are as follows:
1: real-time MPG readout.
2: minutes spent in car. 1 is minutes since I entered the car, and 2 is since I reset the thing at the gas station 5 minutes after starting.
3: average speed travelled. 2 is higher than 1 since I travelled nothing but highway after filling up my car
4: miles traveled. I traveled 1 mile to get to the gas station hence the discrepency
5: average MPG
6: back to the real-time readout. I gunned the VR6 to lower the MPG then I popped it into neutral to make the MPG go up to 199 (the max it will display). If you cruise down in gear it just displays "-- --" until you give it gas again, but if its in neutral it will display much higher MPG's which can throw off the average MPG readouts if you do it too much.
Apparently you can simply swap gauge clusters with one of these if you want to add this in your GL or GLS model, however I would think you'd need the wiper stalk also since it has the buttons that control the display.
09 VW Jetta TDI DSG Failed Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF)
2009 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen TDI with 6-speed automated manual DSG transmission. Knocking sound when in park. CONFIRMED at VW dealership that it is indeed a failed DMF (Dual Mass Flywheel). $2083 + tax & shop fee's is the estimate to replace. Car has high mileage (125k) and apparently the DMF wears out with mileage & use, something VW doesn't tell you when you buy these cars. Not changing your DSG fluid at regular 40k intervals speeds up the process of the DMF failing. If ignored, the DMF will destroy your transmission when it decides to give way costing you even more money.
Toyota 2ZZ-GE Strange Engine Sound
Did a seafoam treatment this past weekend and within 20 miles heard a tapping sound coming from the passenger-side cylinder head area. Almost sounded like a bad tensioner bearing or alternator bearing. Did research & read about the OCV screens needing cleaning so I figured maybe it was clogging.
Hit lift today on the way home in 2nd for a brief period & afterwards my car sounds like this. I suspect the VVTL-i controller is clogged or not working properly, maybe suck in the high-cam profile?? Any ideas??

DIY Do It Yourself Touareg Throttle Reset
Experiencing higher than normal shift points, or possible throttle lag? Try resetting your "drive by wire" system. I noticed a significant improvement of the shift points after resetting this.
Problem VW Golf IV
Mein kleines Problemchen mit der Öllampe und dem Umdrehungsmesser.
Edit:
Was genau die Ursache war, ist unklar. Fehlersuche bei der AMAG ergab kein Ergebnis.
Habe mich damit abfinden müssen, dass dieser Fehler von Zeit zu Zeit vorkommt und dann genauso seltsam, wie er gekommen ist, wieder verschwindet.
Zwischenzeitlich habe ich den Golf , weil ich aufgrund zu vielen Mängel nicht durch die MFK kam, in den Export gegeben und mir einen Audi A3 zugelegt.
Jetta Fuel gauge problem
On my 2008 Volkswagen Jetta, Certified PreLoved with 57k miles... I only see this on cold mornings when I start. On a full tank, or any amount of fuel in a tank over 1/4, the gauge will read at 1/4. Turn it off, and cycle it though again and it rises to over half.. try it again then it rises to ove 3/4. Once more then it comes up to the correct fuel level (I think).
What do you guys think?
