Greetings. I have a Mk. 2 Superb estate on a 12 plate which is just starting to show it's age with niggly faults. The mpg readout on the dashboard is constantly updating, anywhere from 0 to 200 mpg and back again This particularly annoying as I  do long journeys from South of England to the North of Scotland and I pride myself on the mpg I can squeeze out of the 2 litre diesel engine. Any suggestions not involving a hammer would be appreciated.

You may have to read the manual in swapping the display from current mpg to average or some other value you wish to view.  Instant MPG would drive me nuts, though I do put it on from time to time.

 

So grab your manual, you can also get an online copy too and adjust away

Read page 14 onwards...

RTFM! You've got it in instantaneous MPG, when you clearly want trip MPG or tank MPG.

Thank's Ken. I'll check that.

 

Ken, I had disconnected the battery, when reconnected, all parameters were reset. I checked as you said and I'm now up and running again. Many thanks.
