Trip 2 never clears, UNLESS you either clear it manually, or disconect the battery.

The Trip 2 computer does not reset itself.
I reset it myself last week on Thursday, when I filled up my tank, and its still going up.

Its only the Trip1 computer in the highline display that resets after 2 hours to show your total journey.
Trip 2 must be reset manually - just like in any other cars.

Trip 2 in my MKIV resets after 99 hours and 59 minutes of driving - i was just curious to know if this was the case for the MKV

The manual clearly states that it will reset after 99hours 59 mins OR 9999 miles OR 999 litres of fuel consumed. I've just looked at my Trip 2, its on 99hr 50 mins!

I will report back after my trip home to see if it resets itself :D

Oh, sorry I thought you meant 99 hours - not 99 hours of actual driving!
