Title: Chat with Tech 2 needed?
Post by: Darth Loo-knee on 05 March 2008, 19:57:06
Filled the car full of fuel, and zero'd the mileometer on the speedo, then reset the trip on the MID.
I have done a 100 mile round trip and the MID Trip reads 3miles less than the mileometer on the speedo :-?
Could the MID need at chat to a Tech 2 to rectify it? :)

ODO is actual wheel turns on terrafirma.... surely the MID is a CPU's interpritation of fuel flow, speed, milage????  Dunno really, will test mine at weekend....

Did you reverse up Kidsgrove bank???  The ODO doesn't roll backwards... Does the MID?  Just a crazy notion :D :D :D :D
