    Gorgeous car! The units are adjustable via the display settings accessed from the buttons on the wiper stalk (right side of the wheel on LHD cars).

    Enclosed, is an extract on how to set the MPH digital read-out to KPH.

    Regards.
    p.s. don't forget to have Audi S'pore set that cooling system to tropical when you re-register the warranty.

    How much did you save by buying from the UK? I'm only asking cause PA will want $15,000 to "adopt" the car, otherwise they won't even service your care.

    Rit2, would you explain a little more? What is involved in "setting the cooling system to tropical"?

    I'm currently traveling. Will revert with the information on setting the cooling system to 'tropical' as soon as I get back home next week.

    @Spyder222, the Audi dealer in Singapore is obligated to service your car under international warranty within 2 years from the date of initial registration. My car was also a personal import from UK. PM me if you need more information on the subject.

    Regards,
    Ritz
