Question is! is it possible to put a computer from say like s3 where you would get miles to the gallon etc etc.

What year is it? If you have outside temp and miles to empty in the display area between the speedo and rev-counter then it should be possible.

it's a 2006

the outside temp and time is under the rev counter

and the mileage is under the speedo

there is a display area between the 2 clocks but it's blank

Your clocks look exactly like this?

If so, then it cant be done with out changing the entire assembly.

If your outside temp was where the small picture of the car was then it would be possible.

Its hard to understand what you are asking. Does your display indicate MPG, journey time, journey distance already? If you have the rocker switch on the end of the wiper stalk then you have the DIS/trip computer already.

Thanks to all those who helped, I located the button on the wiper stalk and was excited for a total of 2 minutes while I realised the options.

Thank you VW Audi forum!
