I done this on nearly all models of mk3! and it works the same.... ensure you pressing the buttons when turning the key

Theres no numbers around the ignition switch, so if i hold the trip button in, turn it round to the one just before i have to get ignition bring it back round then start the car, and then i release the trip switch? tried it earlier and didnt work, am i doing something wrong?

you need to hold the reset button when the key is in off position, turn it to ignition (when all the dash lights come on), turn it off again, and then start the car  :wink: i've got a 1.6 and it works with mine

thats all i have, the trip computer on the dials... you need to keep the reset button pressed until the car is started and the number 1 should come up... keep pressing it til you reach 7 and there's your rev counter  :wink:
