Not through MFD....?

[RedHP]

If not, then would be down to the dealer mechanics who can set/reset this...?

VAGCOM - think its under Module 17 - instruments

Might be some other modules you need to tinker with too though

You can do it using VCDS - just put Doc jnr to bed and Mrs Doc is at work making us safe as we sleep so I cant go and do it now  

I'll do a "how to" on it in the morning if you can wait

When have i ever been in a rush to do anything 

[mike.]

Just did this yesterday myself, as I had asked the dealer but they left it on Variable 

The MK6 uses the UDS protocol so you can't use the service applications in VCDS

You can do it the following way.

Go Into 17- INSTRUMENTS, and then ADAPTATION

Go to the following channel and change it from ESI to SID



I also changed the mileage to 16100km which equates to approx 10000 miles, I think it was set to 9800 miles



And the time to 365 days as it was set to 372




Resetting the service on the MFD now sets it to 10000 miles or 365 days.
