    MFA has gone crazy

    Can you reset the readout? my kilometer readout and drive time are over 1000 haha.

    Also how accurate is the fuel consumption readout? it has gone up lately. Not sure if it is using more fuel or the readout is wrong.

    dunno bout Aus ones..
    but my UK one has 2 selections.
    you can reset them where u slide the selector on the washer stalk.
    push it to its extreme left and right to reset both.
    dont bother with the MPG setting...always wrong ..
    mines doing 10MPG at the moment...great!

    If its was working fine before and now is giving crap readings it got an air leak.
    Cheers, Benny

    Maybe you have a vac line unplugged that goes to the back of the instrument cluster fed from the manifolds vacuum.
