Golf V R32 :: Center Trip Computer Display Won't Turn Off
Apr 23, 2013
just had the car in to be tinted...drove home, parked...and now the center trip computer display will not turn off. cars off, doors locked...it just stays on.
The guy who did my tint has a VW tatoo and loved the ride...he knew it had a euro switch (not installed by me), and said he had to disconnect the battery while doing the job because the headlights wouldn't go off unless the key was out of the ignition and he needed to roll the windows up and down (obvi).

Why does the trip computer not reset after every stop, and can it be set this way when required. I've read one explanation abut the Phaeton being a "motorway car", so there is period between stops within which the trip computer does not reset -

My battery had died and i purchased a new one. Once i had put it into the car i noticed the trip computer no longer worked. The time reset to 12:00 like expected but i can no loner change the time. Its still illuminated at night but i can no longer monitor gas mileage etc. I looked in the manual but could find no answer. Is there a way to reset it?

There is a number that is displayed above the mileage when my 2006 Sonata is off. Sometimes it will be really low, and sometimes high. I have looked through the Manual and searched the forums, what this number represents?

As part of my 60 mile commute everyday to work and back, I would stop by a gas station in a town on my way home that has 30 cent cheaper gas than where I live. The first time I fueled the car there was no problem. Then today even though my gas was at 3/4 full and I stopped anyways to put in 5 dollars.
What happened next was strange, before I stopped to fuel my range was at 448 miles, with the needle exactly on the 3/4 mark, then I put in 5 bucks the needle did not move at all and my range was still at 448 even after I started driving back on the highway again hoping maybe it would reset. The needle then slowly went up but then the range didn't go any higher and was still decreasing as I kept on driving.
The thing different today was I accidentally put in Unleaded PLUS so it mixed with the 3/4 tank of just regular Unleaded gas..but as far as I know that shouldn't affect anything..right?

I've had this car for a couple of years now and I think this week is the first time I didn't 'fill up' when I got gas. So now the trip computer is all confused on miles to empty vs the almost half tank I have on the fuel gauge. I've tried resetting the trip & holding the button to reset when miles to empty is displayed. I'm a little nervous with the miles to empty in the single digits now.

I used to drive an Acura which had an option to have the trip computer automatically reset each time after refuel. I spoke to my dealer and they mentioned that this is an option.. I was able to get the 'range' to display be default but haven't been able to figure this out yet.

Yesterday when I was coming home my '01 started going on the fritz. The ABS light came on in the console, the Brake light started flashing, and in the onboard computer I received three kinds of messages, "Brake Fault" "Service Manual" and "STOP". What is going on?

I just bought an 04 F350 with the 6.0 diesel. I have the trip computer but it doesn't seem to be working, the screen is just off. Tried the buttons, nothing. Checked the manual, can't find anything. Is there a trick I'm missing? Or is mine broken?

What does this mean? For the past few months my transmission has been really clunky and just un-smooth and now this. Is it broken?

My last fillup was for 9.539G and I had 501 miles on that tank (I had reset the Trip B display after my prior fill-up). This calculates to 52.52 MPG. Yet the trip B display had said I was getting between 55.5 MPG.
This has happened every time I've calculated my mileage, I'm not getting quite the MPG that the dashboard display says I am getting. It overstates my mileage by 3-4 MPG.

I had a serious issue arise today while simply trying to reprogram the radio settings on the infotainment system. When I hit the autostore button (which I had done many times before), the system kind of ground to a halt, wherein it found and programmed a new station, then a couple of others, but it took forever to finish - something that had never happened before. So I hit the autostore button again, with no effect.
Then suddenly, the whole system rebooted - the screen went black, then the welcome VW sign, then the radio started blasting again, but with only 1 or 2 stations showing. Nothing I could do to change anything worked. I couldn't switch to the CD player, I couldn't manually tune the radio, and then I found out that I didn't even have control of the temperature settings in the climate control any longer. the whole front control system seemed to be completely frozen.
And then it rebooted again - after only about 20 seconds of playing. this cycle repeats itself, over and over again. I have no control over anything on the front dashboard. I tried powering down the system, but that didn't work. So I pulled the fuse and then started it all up again, only to have the same issues again. Then frustrated, I took my key out, got out of the car, and closed the door. the damn thing kept doing the same thing. Even removing the key and locking the car up didn't slow it down. I took it to the dealer and explained the problem, and when we went out to the lot to look at it, some 5 minutes after I had arrived there, there was the system playing away all by itself, and then rebooting itself. they did a couple of checks on it and said something like - the whole command center is screwed = you need a new one.

I have a 2002 Mini Cooper I bought a year and a half ago. The last couple of months when I shut my car off I sometimes hear a buzz sound near the center console and my trip odometer resets to zero, and my LED clock resets to 12 Midnight. Sometimes it happens when you open the door after turning the car off. In the Mini's there is a feature that the windows automatically lower a 1/4 inch when you open the doors, allowing air to escape when you shut the door after exiting. When this happens, sometimes that triggers the "buzz" sound and the reset thing happens. This doesn't seem to effect anything else, its just bothersome because I keep track of my miles with the trip odemeter, and I have to keep correcting the clock. Oh Yeah! one more thing that happens, when i am using the Air Conditioner and slow down after full speed, there is what I would describe as a power surge. All the dash lights go off for a split second then come back on.

My friend stopped into see me today cause he thinks I'm a VW guru. His LF tire was at 34 psi and the other 3 were at 44psi. Of course his low tire pressure light came on, but he told me he used to be able to see his tire pressure under the comfort portion of his computer display. He scrolled down to show me it wasn't there anymore. Where it went? He now knows why the light keeps coming on cause he has a leak. He should be able to monitor it I presume.

I have a 2012 ecoboost, recently I went to the trip gauge mode and the display screen for trip A had a yellow rectangle imposed over the time,mpg ect.and would not function correctly. When I switch to trip B info, all info operated correctly and no yellow rectangle in trip B mode. Trip A mode continues be inoperable and still has the yellow rectangle even after the engine was shut off several times during the day.

Three things happened with my Phaeton today.
First, when I pulled out of the driveway, there was an "achy" should as I turned the steering wheel. I sound like it coming from under the hood in the area of the steering mechanisms. I am hoping it just might be low power steering fluid?
Second, my engine warning light (amber) came on after going through a car wash. Everything seems to run fine, so I plan to just wait and see if it turns itself off again.
Last - and only as an irritation - I noted that my trip odometer on the front dash display won't reset when I go into the console "trip data" and press reset. Am I doing something wrong?

I can't compute my actual gas mileage on my Prius c is getting because the trip meters are resetting when I turn the car off. I don't trust the display, I want to compute it myself when I go to the gas station.
