Golf VI R :: Enabling Oil Temp Display On MFD?
I was curious what it would take to enable the oil temp display on the MFD in the US Golf R similar to my Mk3 or on Golf Rs in other markets. I'll just mention up front, that to enable this would be (a) a fair amount of cost and work for something of marginal value, and (b) can be done easily with an external gauge instead. That said, here's what I've come up with so far:
The instrument cluster in the US Golf R is capable of displaying oil temperature. This can be enabled through VAG-COM by changing the coding of the cluster to state that a TOG sensor is connected to the cluster. However, since the car is not equipped with the oil temp sensor, no temperature will display and a fault code will be logged.
The oil temp/level sensor is called "TOG" (Temperatur Oelstands Geber or Temperature / Oil Level Transmitter) and is used in many VAG products. It bolts into the oil pan.
To install this, we would need to replace the oil pan with an oil pan from a Golf R which is equipped with a TOG (part#?).
Not sure the part number of the TOG for the Golf R. And example of a TOG part number is 03C907660M, but I'm not sure which version is needed. A couple of misc parts (bolts, cover) may also be needed.
I suspect the sensor would then need to be wired to the instrument cluster (as opposed to the ECU or other controller). I'm not sure what the wiring for the TOG is, but I suspect it might need power, ground and then run a signal wire to the cluster. It appears to be pretty easy to remove the cluster and gain access to the cluster wiring. On other VWs, it hasn't been difficult to add a wire into the cluster connector. But we'd need to know the pin-outs of the instrument cluster to figure out where it should go.
I saw a TOG sensor wiring harness part number of 8D0-971-379B which may or may not be useful.
Touareg :: Flashing Temperature On MFI Display And Making Noise While Driving?
Before I go digging in my "information not available at time of printing" owner's manual, is there a reason why the temperature display on the MFI would flash and make a "ding-ding" noise at me while I'm driving?

If you get the Nav w/o air suspension does it display anything other than basic navigation functions. I have seen pics in the FAQ showing an inclinometer among other things. Also will the DVD based Nav play CD-Rs.

I thought I would share this with all of you. I had my T2 in for 5K service. I asked again if they could change the digital display of the speed in km/h to mph. I thought there might have been a new computer update. They spent an extra day working on just this issue. The tech even called VW and went to another T2 on the lot to try to reprogram it. No luck. So - it looks like it's official. You can't change the display to MPH on a T2 with the "plain" MFI. I am working on learning the metric system - or just reading the gauge. Still love it!

My A/C dropped out, which alerted me to the temp gauge which was high, then to the "overheating" warning in the display.
I parked it to allow it to cool, then drove on with the heat cranked to shed some heat, only to have to park it again. After only a 3.5 hr wait (what a joke), VW's roadside sub-contractor showed up with a flat-bed to bring it to Rod East VW in San Antonio.
I am still waiting for their diagnosis. I did take some time this weekend to test drive a truck and look at some other vehicles, but nothing in this price range is appealing to me.
Despite the grief I go through with this thing, it's still the best value. I've got 52k miles on my loaded '04 V8.

I had my TReg in for the 5000 mile service this week. Among the laundry list of items on my punchlist for them I mentioned the compass and the fact it was going on and off and the blue light was sometimes changing from dim to brighter when the headlights are on.
The dealer indicated that VWoA has acknowledged some problems with the compass display and I'm getting a new one.
Touareg :: Speed Won't Display With Cruise?
My owners manual says that when cruise is turned on there is a "cruise" symbol in the color MFI - that works as advertised. It also states that after pressing "set" at speed the set speed should also be displayed.
Do a 'set' speed display with cruise and if so do you have NAV or not. Do you have Color or Red MFI ?

"Check lights" just popped up on the display. Low beam lights appeared very weak. Hooked VAG-COM, it said that the right xenon bulb is a problem. Strangely, high beam won't even turn on!? Pulled the right headlight assembly, checked the high beam bulb - no problem. Inspected the inside of the assembly - no visible problem. The xenon bulb looked almost burnt out.

I complained about this 8 months ago and they replaced the compass display module. Then my battery died about 6 months ago and they replaced the compass control module. Now it's flickering--worse than the first time where the backlight was turning on and off. It's just the backlight that appears to be flickering.
