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 Multi-function Indicator (MFA) fuel consumption indicator (where applicable).
Individual functions are called up using the appropriate channel number from adaptation table.
Adaptation table:
Odometer, Adaptation
NOTE:
- Market and equipment appropriate coding of instrument cluster must be performed before adaptation of odometer reading.
- The total distance travelled by the vehicle 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 (62 mi) before adaptation.
- The total distance travelled to be transferred to the new instrument cluster must exceed 100 km (62 mi).
- Adapting the total distance travelled is only possible once and only in a positive (upwards) direction.
- Adaptation can be interrupted with the "C" button of the VAG 1551.
- 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 1.609 = kilometers).
Adaptation, example
The malfunctioning instrument cluster has an odometer reading of 89627 km. This reading is transferred to the new instrument cluster as follows:
- Connect scan tool VAG 1551, select operating mode 1 "Rapid data transfer", switch on ignition and enter address word 17 "instrument cluster".
- Press -Q- button to confirm input.
- Press -> button until "Select function"is displayed..
NOTE: Login procedure is only needed for VDO instrument clusters. On Motometer instrument clusters, adaptation functions can be selected immediately.

"FAIL" appears in odometer if a false code or secret number is entered 3 times.
In this case terminal 30 (battery) must be disconnected and reconnected again and the Login procedure repeated using the correct code number.

Channel 9 Adaptation 0
Enter adaptation value XXXXX
- Enter adaptation value using VAG 1551 button pad.
The last position of the kilometer reading must be rounded off to the nearest 10 kms. Therefore, a kilometer reading of 89627 produces an adaptation value of:
0 8 9 6 3
- After entering adaptation value using VAG 1551 button pad.

The kilometer reading entered now appears in the display of the instrument cluster. If the displayed kilometer reading is not OK, e.g. false entry:
- Press -C- button and enter correct adaptation value again.
If the displayed kilometer reading in instrument cluster is OK:
- Press -Q- button to confirm input.

Distance impulse number (K number), reading/confirming
Distance impulse number can only be read/confirmed on VDO instrument clusters.
NOTE:
- The distance impulse number is a constant used to calculate the speed indication and distance travelled.
- The distance impulse number (K number) cannot be changed using the "Adaptation" function. To change the distance impulse number, a code that corresponds to the vehicle engine/gearbox combination must be entered using "Code Control Module" function 07.
- For instrument clusters with mile indicators, the distance impulse number is shown in kilometers. The trip impulse number for mile values can be calculated as follows: Trip impulse number for kilometer values x 1.609 = trip impulse number for mile values.
- Press the -C- button on the VAG 1551 to abort the "Read distance impulse number" function.
- Connect scan tool VAG 1551, select operating mode 1 "Rapid data transfer", switch on ignition and enter address word 17 "instrument cluster".
- Press -Q- button to confirm input.
