    Distance to empty can be enabled via VAG-Tacho. Have a search for it. Don't know if anyone over there in Perth has one. It's kind of nifty and reasonably accurate.
    Cheers,

    unless you live a long way from work, the simple solution is to just put fuel in more often

    Balkanac has a V Checker but I don't think this (or VCDS / VAG-COM) can do it...
    Seems to be some direct reprogramming on the computer not an on/off option from what I've read before. I'd be interested too.

    I wanted to get that done on mine too, but its not easy. It needs programming. I remeber the guy from NZ has done it (hitman32 or something) but i havent seen from him in a long time. If you manage to get it done let us know

    Contact graeme86 he is in Brisbane and has done it for people here but he may know someone over there with the software to do it as well as they tend to share info amongst themselves on how to use the software. He enabled it on my car and it works a treat.
