calgary-Q7

Hi I have a 2013 TDI Q7 that I bought in the US so of course it has the US speedometer. I am planning on selling it in Canada and would like to change the speedometer face plate to metric or KPH. I have found some metric gauge clusters for sale. Does anyone know if I can just change out the speedo face plate and not the tach side ? Any ideas or tips would be appreciated.

So did you do it? I would like to do the same to my B7 A4

Why? Just go into car settings and change your units of measure the car displays to metric; simple...done, free. It's already got the center display for digital speed readout and other salient details you can toggle between, all you need to do is change your preferences for the display (metric system) via the MMI...super easy.

My car is also USA. I went into settings and have it displaying KPH. Where I am having trouble is the HEAVY FUEL part. Suggestions welcome. Even the dealer was lost on that.....

I'm going with it's cold outside, the idle is high and the car's running the aux heater; heavy fuel usage sensed, for the win. Oh, and that fuel gauge needle is about to break off the display it's so far to the right of 'Full', thus, literally 'heavy fuel'. Maybe that old car's trying to tell you something, Eddzed, lol, .

Seriously though, there's a toggle option in the MMI for fuel economy reminders; a 'fuel-nanny', if you will. I leave that turned off on ours. They would show up in the message/info display area, so I believe that's what you are seeing.

Heavy fuel was the name of the song playing. lol

I always appreciate it when the display says Take It Easy or Get Over It. Not so much when it says SOS or Isn't Life Strange.

How long you been listening to that same Dire Straights song/album there, Eddzed? LOL

Edzzed

With the issues my car has been giving me. It is dire straights. Have an appt. on Tuesday to deal with the new codes I have gotten. have video of the flashing glow plug light along with OBDeleven log with a corresponding timestamp. It did say STATIC on it yet after I re-started the car it now shows as intermittent on a subsequent scan. It also only shows as one event. I just hope it does it s 2nd time before my appt.

It's all perception/point-of-view, there Edzzed. What I see is a retired guy at a lakehouse, with nice 'toys', and whose premium SUV, is getting all the old, worn-out bits replaced by the TDI extended warranty. I should be so very lucky, lol. I've got a ways to go before I catch up to you parts-wise on my '10, but my warranty stretches to 135k miles, as was a late-fix (concurrent 4yrs/48k miles began in July 2019). I'm coming for you, Edzzed...I want all those old, sketchy, clogged and worn-out parts gone, and sooner rather than later .
