New to my GLI.. Noticed the clock and mileage still display while the car is off and key is out. Is that normal? seems that its in some weird accessory mode like some cars when you turn the key back from starting position. I can even turn the radio on.
View 4 RepliesI have a 2002 GTI 337 that I just bought. Got it cheap with minor issues. One of the issues is that the radio and the Dash clock/Odometer will not shut off when the car is off. I took it to VW and they told me that the Driver, Passenger, and Hood latch need replaced (vehicle isn't going into sleep mode). Its not that I do not believe them...
View 4 RepliesEvery once in awhile my car "resets." When I turn the key to the off position, my clock and trip odometer resets to 12:00 and 0.0mi and my radar detector shows a warning of low voltage.. I looked at all the fuses, and they are all good. And it seems to be intermittent.
View 3 RepliesOK, maybe I'm just spooking myself, but I've been getting poorer gas mileage than usual as of late, like 4 to 5 mpg less. I used to get 30+ when I took my car to work, but lately I've been getting 25 to 26 mpg. I calculated it out and it seemed less still, though I didn't do a very accurate calculation.
The other day, I felt like my ESP was kicking in early because my tires are getting a bit old and bald, so I turned it off for my drive home. I immediately noticed that I felt like more power was available (though that was probably my mind playing tricks) and my average MPG for the trip shot up to the 28.5 mpg range with some spirited driving.
Where the ESP or ASR has caused lower MPG? I replaced my MAF sensor recently because it had gone bad, or at least I was fairly certain it had, but now I'm not sure. I also have coil-packs due in the next few thousand miles or so as well, but this seems sporadic. I diagnosed the MAF (which the car was getting around 22MPG before the change) by disconnecting it. It shot up to the 30MPG range with it disconnected, but thinking back, my CEL as well as the ESP light came on. I'm wondering if my ECU turned off the ESP with the MAF disconnected and that is what increased my mileage, not the bad MAF...
Some questions I have regarding he bad gas mileage my car is getting. Up until winter, my car (2005 mk4 gli) was getting 300-330 miles to the tank. I thought was reasonable, about 150 to a half tank. The setup is pretty normal, apr stage 1 tune (87,89,93,100 octane) with bolt ons (upgraded n75, DV, things like that), a cat back exhaust (unsure of brand), 90k miles was just passed last week. Timing will be done in the spring.
The car has no stutters upon acceleration and idle is staying pretty consistent about 900 rpms. I know there is an exhaust leak, at the flex pipe as I seafoamed the car this fall and discovered that. My question is, which down pipe to you suggest to be the best for the money? I've seen a bunch of different brands, weather it be 42dd, ecs, places of the such.
Would it be cheaper and more efficient to just get a turbo back or stick with the cat back and stay happy? Also, I'm assuming if the leak is in the flex pipe, that the down pipe needs replaced all together. The car DID have a check engine light, for the leak. Since winter the cel has gone away and the gas mileage dropped drastically. When I get a new down pipe or fix the exhaust leak, I also want to change the rear O2 sensor. I believe personally this maybe causing my gas mileage info.
Lastly I have a fuel filter to replace the oem one that's been in there. The same thing happened to me last winter and when summer came around, the gas mileage went up to normal 300-330. I drove to h2oi and was getting well over 30 mpg. Now I'm lucky to get 18mpg.
What these codes mean and what I need to do to fix this?
Codes:
P0141 o2 sensor heater circuit bank 1 sensor 2

Sometimes on a longer trip, just tired of seeing the tuner or nav map, I want to just have the clock displayed, digital or analog. But the clock display quickly reverts back to the previous map or radio view. I checked with the dealer, and even the principal couldn't find a way to leave the clock displayed.
View 11 RepliesI have not been able to find this in the manual. Is there a way to increase the brightness of the clock and climate temperature display between the stereo and the nav? I know how to dim the dash display, etc. but my clock is so dim it is very hard to read.
View 5 RepliesI have been having electrical issues with my 2001 manual transmission Jetta. At times I turn the car off, remove the key and the radio stays on, trip mileage and clock will reset. I also had where I was at a stopped at a traffic light and the ABS, engine light, and another light (not sure which one, it was too fast) flashed on for half a second. What should be looked at first and possible changed?
View 11 RepliesMy battery in my 97 Bonneville recently died and I had it replaced, but soon after it being replaced, I noticed that my clock and climate control display weren't showing when the car was running. Everything still works, but I don't get the display.
The clock/radio display does show when the ignition is in the Accessory position after being in the On position, but the climate control display never shows.
A friend suggested it could have been something with the TheftLock system needing a code, but that doesn't seem to be the case because the radio still works and I don't ever see the radio display 'LOC'.
Could it be a blown fuse or something? Which fuses do I check?
My 2010 Prius is 1.5 years old now and I had my first problem this morning. The last time I drove it was Wednesday so it has been less than a week. When I tried to start it this morning the dash lit up but was very weak. You could tell the battery was very low so I turned everything off. I hooked up my boat battery to the underhood terminal and it started right up. I looked around and all the interior lights were off. The other thing that happened is the right half of my display won't light now. No Clock or power gauge. I do, however, have speedometer and gas gauge. I didn't even loose my radio presets. The battery was weak but not dead.
View 19 RepliesI've owned Acura's for 15 years total and now own my first Lexus. Loving it so far. Just bought a used 2013 GS350 luxury package with only 12,000 miles believe it or not. Spectacular condition. Loving it so far after 4 days!
Quick condition, is there a way to permanently display the digital clock somewhere on the nav screen or is the analog clock the only option? Not a big deal, but prefer digital clocks.
My '15 sonata Limited w/ Tech package has been having some issues appear with the clock on the Navigation unit.
A few weeks back, I noticed that the Date/time display across the top of the navigation screen was showing May 28. When I dug down into the clock settings, it was pulling the date May 28, year 2035 from the GPS signal. Each day it would increment to the next day.
Then last week, the date and time would not load across the screen at all. Only the normal blue bar appears across the screen without any text or numbers.
With the Daylight Savings time change over the weekend, I tried to change the time on the LCD clock in the middle of the dashboard, the clock settings are grayed out and I can not change anything.
I already hit the reset button next to the knob on the dash, and also pulled the 15A fuse but neither one worked to reset anything.
98 Explorer: the display light for the radio and clock has suddenly gone out.could it be a burnt out bulb? Also, the FM channels work fine but AM has never pulled anything in, could there be a wire off?
View 14 RepliesMy 10 months old 2011 Corolla started acting up. Two days ago I noticed the light on the clock is gone, so now I cannot see time at night or when driving in a parking garage.
Today in the morning I turned the headlights on and oops...the radio is playing fine but the display is black. If I want to see station #'s, I have to turn off the lights.
What's wrong with the clock light and radio display? Do I have to take to the dealer right away or can it wait until I go for an oil change in a week or so?
I purchased a Prius v (lowercase v for the Prius v wagon) Five (Five not V, uppercase roman numerals were used for only mode year 2010 Prius liftback models) about 6 months ago. When I first got it the "range" display on my dash would claim somewhere around 425 miles on a full tank. Now when I fill it up it says 375. I'm not sure if it adapts to my driving or not.
View 2 RepliesNear the speedometer and gauge cluster, I've flipped through the menus using the steering wheel controls and one option I see is speed.
I was under the impression I could see my actual speed digitally displayed. But it seems to show in small print my average speed. Is there a way to make it digitally show my speed?
I just purchased a 2006 Avalon (Charcoal Grey) with 139,000 miles and so far I love it. Is it possible to reset the fuel mileage display on these cars? I've tried all that I can think of to reset it but nothing has worked, so I decided to ask the pros.
View 3 RepliesI recently purchased a 2009 LS 460, and I was wondering is their anyway to remove the display of the odometer reading for the entire mileage on the car?
View 7 RepliesI have an 04 F150 Heritage. For the last couple of months the odometer has been acting funny. Sometimes the LEDs will light up and display the mileage but most of the time it will not. When it does I can tell that it is still adding up the miles so that part is working . The problem seems to be in the LED readout.
One mechanic told me that I would have to take out my entire display and send it off for repair. The repairs could cause my odometer to go back to 0. This doesn't seem right to me.
Own a 2011 6.7 diesel, 59K mileage, short bed 4 WD. Was driving at 70 mph and noticed my instant mileage display read 0. Usually I see a instant mileage reading of at least 16. No regen was in progress. Steady gas throttle. Display could be changed to other screens. After a few minutes it came back. But it jumped to 16 and did not ramp up.
