Odometer: Service and Repair
Adaptation (function 10)
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 are called up using the appropriate channel number from adaptation table.
Adaption table:
Adaption channel Adaption functions
03 Fuel consumption indicator adaptation
04 Language versions for Navigation system display
09 Odometer adaptation
16 Distance impulse number (K number): Read only, cannot be change
30 Fuel gauge, checking ! (adaptation)

NOTE: After changing an adaption value or ending an adaption channel the function "10 - Adaption" must be performed to select another adaption 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 700 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 must be entered in kilometers. For US models, adaptation value must be converted from miles to kilometers first (miles x 7.609 = kilometers).
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 until "Select function xx" appears on display.
Indicated on display:
Rapid data transfer HELP
Select function XX
NOTE:
- The Login-procedure that follows is only required for VDO instrument clusters.
- Motometer instrument clusters, continue.
- Press button -1- twice.
- Press -Q- button to confirm input.

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.

- Move forward in program by pressing -> button.
Indicated on display:
Channel 9 Adaptation 0
Input adaptation value XXXXX
- Enter adaptation value (odometer reading) using VAG 1551/1552 button pad.
NOTE:
- Adaptation value must be entered in kilometers. For US models, adaptation value must be converted from miles to kilometers first (miles x 1.609 = kilometers).
- 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
<-13->
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.
