passat19, in the USA, nobody has identified a fuel consumption signal from the ECU. Glad it works on yours though!!!

Arragonis: I even take the %10 figure with a grain of salt. The OBD measures (mass) airflow primarily. If you treat the throttle as a switch and don't idle you could possibly get it to be consistent, i.e. either it is floored or off. It turns out that can be a most efficient mode of operation too for TDI.

But access to lots of gauges is certainly desirable.
