    Frankenstein 2.0 tdi a3 8v

Curious on how impossible it would be, if the bore is too big or if someone has done a smaller bore like a 2.1l. Money isn't a problem and i don't want to just get a v6 because...

    Time on Digital Speedometer (DIS)

    The Digital Speedomoter is the default view on my DIS and of course you can scroll down through dates, mpg, rage, etc. Everything, it seems, except the Time - which you need to move over to the "Onboard Computer" view for. Okay, fair enough. But on that view you can't get the speedo.... Does...
