My screen also differnet, can I really do this? What are the benefits of knowing the coolant temp as it is not oil? Is it a good thing to judge when to put pedal to the metal?

He means is that screen to do with climate and the answer would be yes - mine is completely different but it was on the demo, guess which had climate and which didnt

I thought climate was std, must not be, what is your screen like is it about half as deep.

same in all ways it is just the display style, different font and layout

Ok i do have Climate. IT was fitted to early cars as std due to the long wait for release.

Does it matter what the screen looks like it's for demo to show those that dont know how to do it.

As i have atated before the principle is the same.

i think you,ll find that non cc cars have larger blockier pixels and cars with cc have more pixels hence screen resolution ...

correct me if im wrong... :wink:

Thank you,
All these tips are very helpfull to a new VXR owner on the other side of the planet!
The HSV owners manual is a bit on the vague side at times,guess I
will have to invest in a decent workshop manual

SURE THING!!!-one condition-bring upgrades in your hand luggage.
I have yet to see any other VXR`s on the road here,picked mine up on the 11 November-Arden Blue,there was a red one in stock with a black
and silver to be delivered,was the first to test drive one after test driving an 2006 SRI 2.0T I thought the extra money was worth it-
very happy with it
upgraded from a 2003 SRI 2.2-which is now my girlfriends.
Again thanks for the info
