Walton are much less likely to mess up now.
I don't believe so unfortunately.

I got 300 miles plus from 60-70 motorway with cruise control on. .. Dis said average 25/26 mpg ??? On a full tank

City driving usually 40 miles per 1/8th of a tank.. Or per notch..

Saw 359.8 on the trip Wednesday night when I filled up in MK.......... only because I didn't reset during my 10 litres splash and dash Sunday night on the north circular coming home from Ace Cafe. Managed to fit 62.25 litres in Weds with the range having clicked to zero 5-10 miles previous. 360 miles, 72.5 litres is precisely 16 gallons, 22.5 mpg.

went to stonehenge last weekend and managed to get 24/25mpg and did almost 180 miles with 1/2 tank
as soon as I got back to london I returned to 11/12 mpg and overall I managed to to approx 80 miles with the 2nd half

the difference is astonishing

4) adjust it yourself with VAG-COM. Fill the tank (including the extr using the button) and enter the value to force a full tank calibration.

thanks Dave. some folks had the VAG-COM at Ace Cafe but weren't sure how to do the recalibration. perhaps during next meet up?

Doubt it - my weekends are crazy busy at the moment.

It's not complex, as the Ross-Tech wiki says:
Channel 033: Tank Characteristic (Full Calibration)

Non-parallel shift of the tank characterictic above a readout of 1/2. To start the adaptation enter '65535' as new value.

Standard Value: 128
Value Range: 112...144 (-4.0...+4.0 l)
Increments: 1 = 1 Ohm = 1/4 l

So you fill the tank, enter 65535 into channel 33 of the instruments at address 17 and you're done.
