I've only had to refuel my T3 TDI a few times since purchasing it last Fall. That's the good news!

But what's annoying is that the MFD (Multi Function Display) resets itself automatically when refueling. So, when I get back in the VW to record my fuel mileage in my book (something I have done on all my other cars for decades) the info is GONE! It zeros out. AGHHHHHHH! :-x

Close inspection of the manual reveals this to be the way it was intended. So I will have to change my ways and record the mileage FIRST. I can live with that, I guess.

Anyway, does anyone know HOW this works? What computer gizmo signals the MFD to reset? Opening the fuel hatch? Sensors that say new fuel is being added? What?

If I can't change it I at least want to understand it.

Thanks in advance!

I do that as well.

For years I have recorded date, gas mileage, odometer readings and a few other notes every time I fill up. It's sort of a running diary of not only the car data but also the circumstances. "Going to get a new puppy", "Heading to Disneyland", "Getting my wife flowers", etc. Kind of fun to read as the years go by.

I am so used to writing in my book as I wait for the tank to fill. Now I have to change the order of things.

What's that saying about Teaching Old Dogs?

Psh. Who uses books anymore?? It's all about Fuelly!!

LOL! And I write in the book with a feathered quill.

I hear ya! I actually created a Fuelly account (Didn't know about it before this forum) and it never worked right for me. I got frustrated with the iPhone 5 app integration issues (that at least I was having) and ditched it. Maybe I should try again.

BradB....your in luck! You won't need to change your ways....just your settings

Wow, there's hope. I will check that out! THANKS!
