Default Low fuel beep question

I know this has been discussed before, but I did not find the answer in previous threads. Is there anyway to deactive the low fuel beep? It makes my jump in my seat every time it happens. Yes, I know, put in fuel and it wont happen!

Is this something VAG or the dealer can do?

Thanks,

Micho

Default Are you talking about the 1/8th tank beep? When the trip comp display changes to gas pump?

Or is there another one, when you have even less fuel remaining? I'm wondering because my gas gauge is f*cked up, and I always wind up on the backside of E - only to fill up and find it only takes 13 or 14 gallons - meaning I've got plenty left!. If there were a true 1/2 gallon left beep, I'd wait for that sucker!

Default 1/8th I think.

It goes off when I have about (I think) 50km of gass remaining. An yes, the display changes to a gas pump. I like the idea of the gas pump, but the beep is really lowd and always startles me when it happens

Default Yeah, I know what you mean - it startles me all the time too.

I just hate it that I have at least 100 miles left when the damn thing goes off. My gauge is wacky - despite having it service already it's still messed up.
