Hi. My van is a professionally converted, ex AA, 2018 Startline DSG 150 and I love it to bits. But, one thing that really annoys and baffles me is that there is no engine coolant temperature display on the instrument panel and I cannot understand why VW would have thought it reasonable to leave such a crucial reading from their “entry level” trim spec vehicle.
Anyway….I might be wrong, but I assume the relevant sensors and wiring, etc will be present within the engine itself and it is just the instrument cluster itself that does not display the reading….So I was wondering, if it would possible to code it in somehow, to display the coolant temperature where the ambient temp, MPG, ave. speed etc etc are displayed (again, having all these readings available, but not coolant temperature, is unforgivable) and selected via the selector buttons on the wiper stalk, so I can see my coolant temperature.
I have the full VCDS module and software, but am not sure if there is an option anywhere to code it in.
Has anyone tried this or even know if it’s possible, or is the only route via upgrading the instrument cluster or installing digi dash aftermarket clocks?
Cheers
