Hi!
I am trying to do this thru the VCDS and it seems that i dont have the long coding
helper to activate this! I believe this is the thing but like i said,i dont have the this options!
[Select]
[17 - Instruments]
[Coding - 07]
[Long Coding Helper]
Click on each of the Byte numbers in step 3) and you'll see the selectable options below.
Check the box for "Gauge Test/Needle Sweep active"
[Do It!]

Is there any other way to activate this?
My car is year 2008,so i think it should have the right cluster for needle sweep!?

I checked the whole forum and i didnt find any right anwers! If i missed some good thread
how to activate this than post the link please.

Cheers!
J.

DIS colour is red. A friend of mine also has this feature on his prefacelift S3 year 2007,mine's 2008.
 
Try going into Adaption instead of coding and see what the drop down menu says.
 
Had a look into this for my 2007 S3 with no joy, don't think it can be done but will be interested to see if this isn't the case
 
Have you guys got a video of what you are trying to achieve?

I ask because I think mine does the needle swap back and fore on ignition on - mines a 57 plate 2007 8P2 with red DIS

on every car I have enabled this it was done under the ‘Adaptation’
