Hello guys, got a C3 1.6 VRT 2007 and it doesn't display the current MPG anymore - it just shows dashes instead of numbers. This used to work previously.
Any ideas or suggestions ?

Thanks!

Hi

Does the average MPG still show?

The information for MPG comes from the BSI module.

You can reset the BSI on the C3, but I don't know why it would give you average but not instantaneous MPG to display.

Some of those parameters are "attached" to the trip meter. When the trip meter goes over a certain number, you won't get any information.
Try resetting the trip and average MPG figures.
