Since the OY recall, the info in my MFD is resetting itself about every 2 hours (avg mpg, time driven, route, etc). It used to only reset when I did it manually, which is what I prefer. How I can change it so it won't reset itself anymore?

View 1 RepliesMy daughter accidentally pulled the emergency latch and now I can't get my trunk to close. I tried pushing the handle back into place to no avail... searched the archives and didn't find anything there either. What I am doing wrong, aside from leaving my 10 year old in charge of closing the trunk??
View 8 RepliesWhen I turn the knob under the clock counter-clockwise to reset/change the hours, it works fine, when I turn the knob clockwise to change the minutes nothing happens? Do running the VAG-COM instrument cluster output tests might fix it?

View 2 RepliesI noticed that on long trips, the a/c will just stop blowing all of a sudden. However, if I turn it off and 'give it a break' it will start blowing normally again. This usually happens after about 3hrs of continuous a/c usage. The entire a/c systems already been replaced about 5k miles ago. What's causing this? FWIW, I just bought the car a few weeks ago and figured since the a/c had already been replaced that I was in the clear...guess I was wrong
View 3 RepliesMy 2.0T 06 Passat misfires sometimes during cold start after 6-8 hrs of parking. It happens very rarely. I have had the car for 4 years (bought it brand new) and the misfire has happened about 5-6 times. Is this normal? Just wondering if they get logged in the computer system so VW Service can see it? My car has got 47K miles on it.
View 5 RepliesFriend of mine has a 2000 Passat. He has a weird problem. The car will just shut off in the middle of driving and won't start for 1-2 hours.. the ECU was already replaced, along with some sensors.
View 3 RepliesI have a 1998 VW Passat station 1.81 Turbo that has started to do something weird. After driving the car, after the car has been parked for 1-2 hours, the car's horn starts honking and the lights start flashing- all this for 20 seconds (approx). We don't have a remote clicker to the car, or after market alarm, so it is not an accidental hit on the button. This started a week ago, and was once a day, now sometimes it is 2 x a day. We purchased this car from our landlord who will buy it back at the end of our stay. We have already replaced clutch and fixed numerous oil leaks. What could cause this?
View 4 RepliesI have a 2005 Passat Wagon, V6, 2.8L. I purchased this car used about a year and a half ago with 10,000 mi. It now has 32,000. I have done all scheduled maintenance. About 8 mo ago I started noticing a problem when starting the car. It seems to take a while for it to "turn-over" while starting it up. We've taken it to two different VW dealerships to try and solve the problem. About 4 mo ago, one of the dealerships replaced the ignition coil. They were able to read a memory chip of some sort to identify the problem I was having. Since this repair however, the problem has begun again. There is no consistency. Hot or cold temp. After sitting several hours or only a few minutes. The problem happens about one out of every five starts.
View 7 RepliesFrom the first day i bought this car i had a strange noise coming under the hood. Every time i leave my car for at least 2 hours parked and then started, when i do a few meters i hear a noise like a hydraulic valve comes in place and my brake pedal does a small movement. After that everything is normal.
View 2 RepliesJust filled the Treg for the first time and couldn't figure out how to reset the odometer to zero. I've never encountered a vehicle that didn't have the little button to push next to the odometer for reset.
Also, the "please refuel" warning seems to come up pretty early. As it was the first time for me to fill her up I wasn't sure how many gallons were remaining in the tank. It only required 19.5 gallons to fill so I still had about 5 gallons or so left I guess. I have to admit I liked the fuel pump symbol that popped up to remind me.
One more off-topic observation. I've noticed with my key remote that the hatch release button requires a lot of effort before the thing receives the signal and opens. In fact, the sensitivity of the remote in general appears to be rather weak. I've been accustomed to my Bimmer having a very good keyless entry system where it only required one press of the key from a long distance and no extra effort.
Can the service reminders, such as oil change due now, be reset by us owners? I do most of my own maintenance and am hoping to be able to reset when needed.
View 4 RepliesAverage MPG per tank is automatically reset anytime you fill up with more than about 4 gallons. But the owner's manual PDF I've been reading for the C seems to indicate that this is manually done by resetting one of the tripmeters. What is actually the correct method?
View 2 Replies2008 T2. The dealer says it's because I have my Parrot grounded to the radio chasis. I say they are full of you know what as it's been doing it since day one long before I installed the Parrot. It's a PITA at least once or twice a week when it resets all my presets to channel 184.
View 1 RepliesI have a 2002 KIA Sedona with the CEL on. I got the code and would like to clear it but Auto Zone who read the code said they were not permitted to clear it and highly recommend not clearing it. So is it bad to clear it and if not how can I do it myself?
View 19 RepliesWe recently replaced the driver's window on our 2001 Prius, and now when the auto-close switch is activated, the window closes and then immediately bounces back open to halfway (triggering jam protection function). I know it's common to have to reinitialize the window in this situation, but can't figure out how to do it!
I have the Gen II+ instructions but they don't work for this car. How it should be done on a Gen 1? The manual has no details, unfortunately.

The sales rep is trying to find this out for me as well. He knows it involves the pressing of the trip computer button and while holding in another button.
Ok, so I've had my '16 SE for about 3 weeks. Last night, I noticed the tire pressure was way too high (41lbs in the front and 39lbs in the back). So, I let the car sit overnight, and set all 4 tires to 33lbs this morning.
Ever since I did that, every time I turn the car off, the Average MPG display (on the dash) keeps resetting to 0. I took about 5 trips today, and it keeps happening. The ECO app on the radio shows my previous trips, so I know that the data isn't being lost somewhere, it's just not being displayed anymore. Basically it's acting like I trip MPG system now.
What could cause this, or what setting I should change to fix this? I messed around with it for about an hour, and can't figure it out.
I'm not sure where this should be posted, but my MFD showed a mileage reset to 0 today. I only reset at fill-ups so that I can do long division.
Anyway, while trying to figure this out, I saw on the Consumption screen that the AMPG also started bouncing around. Before I shut off the engine, it bounced between 39 and 42.
Since the last fill up, the pips have been decreasing quickly...4 in 71 miles. I know the pips are not a linear measure, but 4 in 71 miles seems pretty quick.
Where I should start looking?
