Adaptation (Function 10): Odometer

• 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 be more than 62 miles (100 km) before adaptation.
• The total distance travelled to be transferred to the new instrument cluster must be more than 62 miles (100 km).
• Adapting the total distance travelled is only possible once and only in a positive (upwards) direction.
• Adaptation can be interrupted using the "C" button of the VAG 1551 scan tool.
• Correcting a false entry which has been confirmed is not possible. The instrument cluster must be exchanged for a new one.

For instrument clusters with mile indicators, adaptation must be performed in kilometers. Mileage values must be performed in kilometers. Mileage values must be converted to kilometers (1 mile is approximately 1.609 kilometers). The control module for instrument cluster calculates the mileage in miles from the value entered in kilometers.

1. Connect VAG 1551 scan tool. See Figure .
2. Select operating mode 1 "Rapid data transfer."
3. Switch ignition on.

11. Press "Q" button to confirm input. Indicated on scan tool:
    • Adaptation
    • Enter channel number XX
12. Press buttons "0" and "9." Press "Q" button to confirm input. Indicated on scan tool:
    • Channel 9 adaptation 0
    • -1 3-
13. Press forward (right) arrow button to continue program sequence. Indicated on scan tool:
    • Channel 9 adaptation 0
    • Enter adaptation value XXXXX
14. Input adaptation value (odometer reading from original unit) using VAG 1551/1552 button pad. The last position of the kilometer reading must be rounded off to the nearest 10 km. For example, an original odometer reading of 89,627=08963 adaptation value. If the odometer reading is less than 100,000 miles, the first digit must be a zero to account for this digit.
15. Press "Q" button to confirm input. Indicated on scan tool:
    • Channel 9 adaptation 0 Q
    • Enter adaptation value 08963 (08963 is shown as a sample odometer reading.) Notice a zero must be entered to fill in the hundred thousands place.
16. If km reading indicated is OK, press "Q" button to confirm input. Indicated on scan tool:
    • Channel 9 adaptation 8963 Q
    • -1 3-
17. The km reading entered is now indicated on the instrument cluster display. If the km reading indicated is not OK or was entered incorrectly, press "C" button and repeat input of correct adaptation value.
18. If the km reading indicated is OK, press Q button to confirm input. Indicated on scan tool:
    • Channel 9 adaptation 8963 Q
    • Store modified value?
19. Press Q button to confirm input. Indicated on scan tool:
    • Channel 9 adaptation 8963
    • Modified value has been stored
20. End adaptation of the odometer by pressing the forward (right) arrow button. Indicated on scan tool:
    • Rapid data transfer HELP
    • Select function XX
21. Press buttons "0" and "6" to select function 06 "End Output." Indicated on scan tool:
    • Rapid data transfer Q
    • 06 - End Output
