I am sure that I have previously seen that it is possible to use VCDS to make corrections to the fuel consumption (eg Average MPG) that are displayed. Can anyone confirm/tell me how to do this.
It would help if we knew what car you were interested in doing that on, and if we had a scan of it, so we knew exactly what instrument cluster it has.I am sure that I have previously seen that it is possible to use VCDS to make corrections to the fuel consumption (eg Average MPG) that are displayed.

That's from this old thread on the VW Vortex."Display correction of consumptions and operating range" found in Adaptation, from the instrument cluster. The value should be 100% from the factory.
Increasing the adaptation value lowered the Mpg data displayed on the MFA. So, If you want to lower the average MPG displayed on the dash, try increasing the adaptation value to 102% -> 105%.
If you wanted to Increase the Mpg on the display, lower the Adaptation value to 95% -> 98%.
