MMI set-up advice

There isn't a specific setting for MPG; I presume this is set from the units in the Car menu.

Hi Julian - I can`t see an option for changing the units in the car menu at all. Only get a few options to change like speed (in mph or km) etc.

In the instrument cluster the fuel consumption is displaying as xx l/km (l/100km) which I can`t seem to change.

In the hidden menu I get this under the MMI settings (see attached pic)

I was referring to the changes you can make in the 'Setup/Measurement Units' MMI Menu. This has a 'Distance Unit' and 'Speed'. If you have 'Distance' set to "miles" and 'Speed' to "MPH" then your 'l/km' in the cluster is a different problem I'm not able to help you with.

I think you're going to need a VCDS scan anyway, as to really try and check these two issues out, members of this forum will want to see part numbers, HW/SW versions and coding settings of the Instrument panel and door ECUs to make progress ...

I'm getting more and more confused with your issues if I'm honest.
See attached photo for changing the units
Press Car > Setup > Setting in top right corner and then go to Meassuring Units
If that won't solve the problem there could be incorrect coding in your cluster or other units.

About the doors.
I wonder if you have a passenger unit fitted on driver's door or this unit coded as passenger.

A full VCDS scan would be best place to start mate.

What version of MMI have you got by the way ??

Hi Julian - all of those settings are set correctly from what I can see. So will probably need a VCDS scan to see what the root cause is. There doesn`t seem to be any other option in the 'normal' car menu system for me to change the fuel consumption figures so I think it must be linked to my car seemingly being set-up as a LHD in the software somewhere with the door issue I have in the cluster and also the LHD set-up I can see in the green hidden menu under MMI.

This is the version info from my car:

SW: D3-HU 55.7.0 0835

HW: D3-HU 6300D2.0

FC SW: 06231AFC6AB320050

FC PS: 0050 FC HW: H01

So, you have the latest MMI version which is good, at least we know its not the MMI software glitch.

Now, if you can access green menu, go to DIAG SETTINGS and untick linkslenker which LHD, if its not in in DIAG then check all the other menus and submenus please.

Hi mate - have unticked that option already to no avail. Spoke to my local Audi who said the instrument cluster has nothing to do with the MMI (W.T...?) So does not give me much confidence. The car is in with them today for a free health check and looking into this issue I have so will see how it goes.

Messed up wiring on the main plug??
Possibly has been messed around and pins are other way round on the pain connector.
Unlikely, but without good history of the car and no VCDS to identify if left door is wired as left door and vs I hope its just something along the lines of coding or adaptation channels.
Let us know, if still no luck I will jump on mine and see if I can ''create'' your issue on my car coz then I will know where you need to go and what value you must put to get it finally fixed.

Hi all - well car was in the Audi dealership yesterday (Camberley Audi, Surrey [hope that's ok to mention!]) and problem resolved. Some coding issue somewhere and previous owner must have messed around with the settings at some point or possibly replacing the cluster module with a LHD one. But all is well and car is now RHD and I have my mpg back now. Received excellent service and the manager spoke to me personally about a few things I should raise with the garage I bought the car from so happy for the moment.
