Polo Tips and Tricks

Delocked here also, thankfully I can still open and close windows + sunroof remotely using my votex kit keyfob

Using Climatronic...Hold fan down, and hit the cold Button and ECON at the same time, then use hot and cold to switch between the diagnostic modes, navigate up to Ch. 16 which will be your actual speed

How did you find this out? Does anyone have a list of the different channels and what they do? Would be great if one was MPG, always wondered what mine does.

Its a diagnostic mode as mentioned, I think I remember seeing a list of what each mode is for somewhere on the net, try google to search for it

You always wondered what your climatronic did?

Ok scratch that from the record! (feeling particularly jaded today). I was actaully going to put i've always wondered why some of the old golfs have got a digital display for MPG etc and something like the polo gti doesn't.

[olop_chris]

on channel 16, is there any way of converting the speed to mph on the digital display?

[Ant_43]

think it changes if you press econ and auto at the same time?

Found this. Not sure if it's right:

The speedometer has a factory built-in error to show a speed faster than your actual speed. The Climatronic (automatic climate control) system includes a number of sensors that you can access through the diagnostic mode. To see your true speed in digital format press the following key combinations:
1. Press Fan Down, Temperature Colder, ECON at the same time.
2. Use the temperature control buttons to cycle through the various channels to Channel 16.
3. Press ECON to go back to normal. (It goes back automatically when you restart the car.)
