I think you scroll down on the mfd to factory settings which if it is a rhd car it should give you miles. You will then have to put all your other settings back if necessary to the way you want them such as lighting, conveniece etc. Hope that works!

Email the guy on ebay and ask him, if he wants a couple of quid for the answer (you could offer him a couple of £) I wouldnt mind chipping in to help, as that KPH is a pain in the ass.

I'll wait a while and see if someone answers it first - as I don't have my car yet anyway.
If not, then I'll try sending him an email.
I'm supposed to be gettng a loan Golf Plus tomorrow from the dealer until my car turns up... so I may have to have a play with my VagCom  :shocked:

Excellent, a Car to be able to beta test, at least it aint your own if it all goes wrong.  :grin:
