Odometer, adaptation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

NOTE:

Market and equipment appropriate coding of instrument cluster must be performed before adaptation of odometer reading. Vehicles. 05.99 > 05.00. Refer to Instrument cluster 05.99 > 05.00, coding (function 07) . Vehicles 05.00 >. Refer to Instrument cluster 05.00 >, coding (function 07) .
The total distance travelled by the vehicle can be read from the malfunctioning instrument cluster or determined by the vehicle service history.
The total distance travelled display of new instrument cluster must not be more than 100 km (62 mi) before adaptation.
The total distance travelled to be transferred to the new instrument cluster must exceed 100 km (62 mi).
Adapting the total distance travelled is only possible once and only in a positive (upwards) direction.
Adaptation can be interrupted with the "C" button of the VAG 1551
Correcting a false entry which has been confirmed is not possible. The instrument cluster must be exchanged for a new one.
Adaptation value must be entered in kilometers. For US models, adaptation value must be converted from miles to kilometers first (miles x 1.609 = kilometers).

Adaptation, example

The malfunctioning instrument cluster has an odometer reading of 89627 km. This reading is transferred to the new instrument cluster as follows:

Connect scan tool VAG 1551, select operating mode 1 "Rapid data transfer", switch on ignition and enter address word 17 "instrument cluster".
Press -Q- button to confirm input.
Press → button until "Select function" is displayed.

The last position of the kilometer reading must be rounded off to the nearest 10 kms. Therefore, a kilometer reading of 89627 produces an adaptation value of:

0 8 9 6 3

X					Hundred thou.: 100000... 655350 km
	X				Ten thousands: 10000... 90000 km
		X			Thousands: 1000... 9000 km
			X		Hundreds: 100... 900 km
				X	Tens: 10... 90 km
					Units: round up to next ten

After entering adaptation value using VAG 1551 button pad,
