A couple of quick questions
Can the DTE on an AUII be recalibrated?? How do you you get at the antenna/aerial on an AUII? I need to replace mine. cheers |

Hmm...not sure what you mean exactly about recalibrating the DTE?
You can get to the aerial under the passenger side (front) wheel arch. Remove the plastic cover with the plastic plugs and metal tabs, then there will be a piece of foam that just pulls out, and there is the aerial ;)

Changing your driving style is a form of DTE recalibration.

Is that factory LPG or Aftermarket?
The DTE is a calculated value based on fuel usage and tank size. It should technically be possible to change the value for the tank size. No idea who/how you would go about this though...Maybe AU Edit?

factory LPG (e-gas). I understand how the DTE works. It just seems to have a much smaller tank entered than the car actually has.
What is AU edit?? I'll start searching now. cheers steweyau |

With an LPG tank ... you can only fill to 90% of the actual capacity ... it's a safety feature (gas expansion on hot days). You will only be able to fill to a maximum of 90L ... (although i managed 96L .. but that's a different story).
DTE still works as it is supposed to though ... but can be flakey though ... I don't trust it 100% ... I just go off how many KMs I have travelled.
