Recalibrating dash gauges?
Discussion
In an attempt to fix the dead lines and pixels in the display of my A3 I've messed up the needles in my dashboard gauges. None of them now point where they should.
Is it possible to recalibrate the gauges using VAGcom?
Has anyone got tips on how to manually position the water temp, fuel, speedometer and tacho needles?
Thanks!

No 
the car is from 2001.
In anycase, I think I've fixed it, a bit of trial and error and the needles seem about right.
Checked speedo against satnav, reading a few mph higher as it should.
The fuel gauge shows full when I topped up the tank.
The temp gauge sits in the middle after a few minutes of driving.
The tacho reads 2.1krpm at 80ish.
The lesson here is don't bother dismatling yr dash when the problem is not very major and, in hindsight, unlikely to be fixable!
