I've always wished that I could recalibrate my gas gauge since there seems to be a least a couple gallons left in our tanks when our gauge reads "0", and was super excited to finally try making this adjustment once I found out you can do it with VAGCOM, however the person helping me with the VCDS coding warned me not to mess with these settings since he says "turbo cars use a high pressure fuel pump and it's set like this for a reason".
Is this true? Would it really be dangerous to adjust my gauge such that when it reads "0" I'm actually empty? Would really like to be able to get another 50mi or so out of each fill up.

Adjust Fuel Gauge (EXP)
Code: try 20103.
(1) Offset for tank calibration values - Offset sensor 1: from -12.8l to +2l
Range is -12.8 to +8.
-12.8l is the factory default.
<0 moves the needle down.
=0 no change/movement
>0 move needle up.
+1 = needle moves up by ~1/16 up
+2 = needle moves up by ~1/8 up
