    How do get the upgraded fuel gauge? Mine always seems to be empty. Glad you got everything sorted out. It doesn't seem worth it too a lot of people but in my opinion is definitely a big improvement.

    Is the stalk a simple plug and play and program via VAGcom or is it a ECU hack like the old passat cruise control fit.

    Fitted the washer sensor. It is pin 9 on a B7 A4... Fairly easy job - took me 1 hour. My conclusion is this - empty the bottle first...

    Sorry, pin 9 behind the plastic trim under the LHS of the glovebox. It's a black connector block with a blue/brown wire going to it - this is the wire which goes to the dash warning light.

    Hi there, just bought my first B7 2.0 tdi sline, was surprised to see it didnt have trip computer stalk on it as my previous B6 model had one..

    I would like to add on this trip computer stalk and maybe cruise control..

    I know i definitely wouldnt be able to do this my self, so my question for you all is that is there any company or private individuals that do this fitting..?

    I can always buy the parts my self but would need someone to fit it and vagcom it..

    Any help please would be greatly appreciated..

    Thanks...
