    Default vr L3 dash calabration questions

    hi as some of you guys know i recently put a l3 dash in my vr equipe.
    i have one issue. its not accurate.
    what i need is for some one with a stock vr with a l3 dash and with the 63L tank to check some calibration no.s for me. to do this all you do is find the L/km and hold set for 3 sec and the same for the rest of the options.with key on running or not.

    if some one can do this it would be greatly appreciated there is only 3 of them.

    also if anyone needs the procedure on how to modify the setting for these dashes (vr vs) i can wright it up for ya's

    thanks.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ok here are the prosedures for editing the lcd's etc
    NOTE THIS WILL NOT AFFECT THE ODO

    press the mode button untill distance travelled is displayed
    line the car up on a known marker (sign post etc)
    press ^v buttons together the display will zero its self
    drive for 10km and stop exacly 10km from starting point (may need to mesure with a good gps unit or something dont rely on the cars odo as its possibly off)
    press v button this will complete the distance calibration, enter the displayed cailbration number into the computer memory and return the display to distance travelled function
    the limits the dash has is 497 and 752 if its out side these figures it will pre set to 625
    to enter the number that is shown when driven for 10km hold set button for 3 sec in the distance travelled and while holding set press ^or v to set the number, this will set the trip computer to your wheel size etc.

    you can also set the fuel flow, pm me if this is needed also fuel tank calibration number for distance to empty

    Fuel flow, if it's the same as the VN/VP calibration, is this:

    fill tank to first click on servo pump
    reset trip meter
    go driving, use 5 tanks of fuel at the minimum, fill up to first click every time!!!
    keep records of how much went in each time

    divide one by the other, times a constant, gives you the fuel calibration number your car needs for your particular setup of fuel pressure and injectors.

    If anyone wants this last step done properly I can go find my VP Calais manual and write it up.. otherwise I won't bother, too far to walk in the dark

    if you hold down the set button on each mode the DIST and Fuel modes should be set to 625 for stock calibration.
