I need to reset the the mileage counter on my 2002 golf, I need to know how far I have travelled for work purposes, only I can't seem to get it reset. Can any one help because the black twisty button doesnt seem to work.

You have got to do it with the ignition on.

With the ignition off, it will zero but as soon as you put the ign on it will return to the figure stored.

Also, if it is knackered, couldn't you use the trip function on the MFD computer.

Failing that.... AA Route planner !

Being Female is no excuse

Saying that....

Your not pressing the clock set button instead of the trip re-set are you ?
