I don’t remember early noughties being so cheesy, they felt like we were right on the edge. Also, 9.2 MPG on the display, what the hell! ;)) An entertaining lecture nevertheless.
Nice video. Have not heard "fuzzy logic" talked about for a long time, they don't seem to use it in marketing these days for anything. What is the device you are using for capturing these vhs videos it looks pretty good. I assume you are using a 6 head vcr too as don't see the streaks across the images with worn old tapes as you would on a 2 head deck.
In the vw TCU there was a parameter called "Sport Factor". That's what the fuzzy logic is. With the scan tool you could lock it into Sport or Economy, on the few I've driven I found it worked better with it enabled. Hmm, I can't remember if I left it on with the V10 though. The 722.6 MB cars had this same function. For capturing I'm using a 90s Sony 4 head VCR, going into a Canopus FireWire capture box. I also use a 2000s Samsung dvd/vhs combo, in some cases it has a better picture. I upload the .DV file right to UA-cam.
Mike Kraft is one heck of a presenter. Just wait until he tells you about the new retro encabulator option in the 2003 model.
He really is top of the class. His videos are without a doubt the the best ones.
5:22 holdup that ain't a Passat interior, that's a Golf

5:23 lol. My GMC Sonoma used to have this issue, if you didn't get the cap just right, the light would come on. "Or call scobby doo and the gang"
Hey, this might actually help the owners of
Are they not reliable?
@@TrueStrongNorth They didn't sell very well.
Only around 11.000 produced in total. Probably too expensive for a Passat. Which is a shame, I found it quite interesting.
This is lovely thanks for posting.

Well, it is a V8...
@@compu85 *W8. While they both have 8 cylinders, they're not the same thing.
Here in the UK even back in the late 90's early 00's.... 9.2MPG-JUST SAY NO.
Hey this is the guy from the retro encabulator video
