Rs3 virtual cockpit power gauge stuck.

Hi Everyone,

So I just picked up my new 2019 rs3 last week and the power gauge is stuck, and the torque gauge is stuck at 4 but still works when I accelerate any ideas of what could be the problem?

My guess is that the car is on DS1 with a flex fuel sensor installed.

My guess is that the car is on DS1 with a flex fuel sensor installed.

Even more dangerous could be that it's on DS1 and the ethanol content was manually set to 64%...that would not be good if you're running fuel which isn't ~64% ethanol.

If it has a sensor then the number should have changed when you filled up your tank. OP - is that the case?

Yes, that’s exactly what it was. I was able to bring the car into my shop and shipped off my ecu to unitronic to get re-flashed.

No, the numbers never changed when I filled up. I’m hoping everything goes smoothly with the ecu and the car gets back up and running.

Sorry, OP, I thought I responded to you right after you posted this thread but I guess my response never went through. Glad you found out the problem and it does sounds like it was manually set to that percentage because they probably weren’t using a flex sensor or the DS1 was no longer plugged in and that was the last reading. Did I read that right, why are you shipping your ecu to Unitronic? That doesn’t make much sense to me when you can just flash the car remotely.
