Odometer: Service and Repair
Odometer adaptation
Use this function to initiate and store the following changes:
- Adaptation of odometer reading when replacing/exchanging instrument cluster
- Adaptation of fuel gauge reading
- Adaptation of fuel consumption indicator (MFI)
- Coding Navigation system display language versions (if available).
Individual functions above are called up using the appropriate channel number.
Adaptation table:
Adaptation channel Adaptation functions
03 Fuel consumption indicator, adaptation
04 Language versions for Navigation system display*
09 Odometer, adaptation
16 Distance impulse number (K number), reading
30 Fuel gauge, checking (adaptation)
*) If available
NOTE: After changing an adaptation value or ending an adaptation channel the function "10 - Adaptation" must be performed to select another adaptation channel!
Odometer, adaptation
NOTE:
- The total distance travelled can be read from the malfunctioning instrument cluster, or determined by the vehicle service history.
- The total distance travelled display of new instrument cluster must not be more than 100 km (63 mi) before adaptation.
- The total distance travelled to be transferred to the new instrument cluster must exceed 100 km (63 mi).
- Adapting the total distance travelled is only possible once and only in a positive (up wards) direction.
- Adaptation can be interrupted with the "C" button of the VAG 1551/1552 Scan Tool (ST)
- Correcting a false entry which has been confirmed is not possible. The instrument cluster must be exchanged for a new one.
- Adaptation value on VDO instrument clusters must be entered in kilometers. For US models, adaptation value must be converted from miles to kilometers first (miles x 1.609 = kilometers).
- Adaptation value on Magneti Marelli (M73/MM4) instrument clusters for US models must be entered in miles.
Example:
The malfunctioning instrument cluster has an odometer display of 89627 km. The odometer display can be transferred to the new instrument cluster as follows:
- Connect VAG 1551 Scan Tool (ST), select 1 "Rapid Data Transfer", switch on ignition, input address word 17 "Instrument cluster".
- Press -Q- button to confirm input.
Various data appears in the display. The manufacturer's code is also displayed.
- Press -> button, wait until next display appears and press -> button again.
Indicated on display:

If a wrong code is entered 3 times, "FAIL" appears in odometer display. In this case, the ignition must be switched off and on again, and the Login procedure repeated using the correct code.
- Press -Q- button to confirm input.

Input adaptation value XXXXX
- Enter adaptation value (odometer reading) using VAG 1551/1552 button pad.
NOTE:
- Adaptation value on VDO instrument clusters must be entered in kilometers. For US models, adaptation value must be converted from miles to kilometers first (miles x 1.609 = kilometers).
- Adaptation value on Magnetti Marelli (M73/MM4) instrument clusters for US models must be entered in miles.
- Optional method of adaptation entry is to press button 1 (to decrease value) or 3 (to increase value) as long as adaptation value (desired odometer reading) exceeds 110 kilometers (63 miles).
The last position of the kilometer reading must be rounded off to the nearest 10 kms. A kilometer reading of 89627 produces an adaptation value of:
Indicated on display:
Channel 9 Adaptation 0 Q
Input adaptation value 08963
- Press -Q- button to confirm input.
Indicated on display:
Channel 9 Adaptation 8963 Q
The odometer reading entered now appears in the display of the instrument cluster. If the displayed reading is not OK, e.g. false entry:
- Press C button and enter correct adaptation value again.
If the displayed reading in instrument cluster is OK:
- Press -Q- button to confirm input.
