VW Polo MFD

We have a Polo 2012 which appears to have an issue with the MFD in that it does not display the digital speedo just shows ---, also no speed sign recognition.

It shows other things such as gear change etc

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Are you sure it has the speedo enabled & isn't just showing the Speed Warnng screen?

Thanks for the reply

I’ve played around with the switch at the end of the stalk

still comes up the same

I assume it should either be speed in mph as it does below in kph

or show what the speed limit is

speed

Neither. You use it to manually set a maximum speed that when exceeded, will display a warning on the display. The digital speedo is a separate display that may not be present on your vehicle but could possibly be added by coding.

Thanks for the useful information, how easy is coding?

@jouster can probably help you more with the specifics of that. You need an interface to the OBD port & some software to carry out the change. That's even if it's available on your model.
