Mode button not working. Cannot reset time!

[vipergrm]

Hi folks,

I just got a replacement battery fitted in my 2002 Audi Avant 1.9 TDI and since the replacement my clock has reset. The problem is, the mode button doesn't appear to work and i have no idea how to fix it. The button actually just falls off when applying even modest pressure. Is there a simple way to fix this or some other way to get the clock reset? Thanks!

only way to reset is to use the mode
if get a torch and see if u can press it with a match stick or sumat like that

All,

I'm still having bother trying to get the time reset. The mode button doesn't do anything and when I take it off to hoke in the back I still can't get it to work. What exactly am I looking for? It's really annoying having the completely wrong time on the dash. Thanks! :D

Disconnect and reconnect the battery at midnight!

Yeah but I'm still stuck in June 2002. That did cross my mind by the way : -)

Sorted! I just used a long screwdriver and kept hoking around behind the mode button and managed to find it. Happy days!
