At this rate I will be taking delivery of my car all over again!
It's like tasting a curry twice, only better!
How mad is that and how bizarre.
You could not make this one up could you? :rolleyes:

My guess it's a software bug., and is probably affecting a whole range of VAG products.

But mainly, who's going to notice??  I can't remember the last time I glanced at my odo !! :shocked:

You could also do that thing (can't quite recall exact sequence) to bring up the service indicator and see if that's going backwards too.

And from a physics point of view of course you must bear in mind that time can run backwards, it's just very very very very unlikely. Unless of course you are in a Volkswagen or a DeLorean...hahahahahahahaha
