Thanks cupra matt, useful answer at last!

I think this thread will be handy for myself too, but, however, what do you mean exactly by "ignition release button?", and when you say "turn button clockwise", do you mean the trip button or tyhe ignition button?

The only button you need is the trip reset button mate.
when it says " switch on igntion realese button" its 2 different things, switch on igntion, then release button
oh i see, poor punctuation then ;)
lol
i tried this other week and it worked \o/
this might be a stupid question but is this a permanent fix or only for so many miles?
I think it just for the 10,000 miles.

i guess its a good sign its been serviced before it needs it.
You could go on to say anyone who see's it should service their car more.

i just did it there, it went as follows -
key in, push trip reset button, ignition on, release button. Done.
it did flash up 00000, with the first zero flashing, i thought this might be to set when it comes back on?
Well, I've just reset my service indicator, or so I thought!
It comes up 'FAIL', lol. And now I can't actually reset it, just get 'FAIL' everytime, lol.
I take it this can only be fixed with VAGcom?
It's just that I've tried piddling around with it without any luck.

"Key in ignition, ignition OFF, press and hold trip reset button, switch ON ignition, release button, turn button clockwise until it goes out. igniton OFF, Igniton ON."
Turn Button Clockwise?? Turn what button Clockwise? You can't turn any of the buttons clockwise...

Make sure you're using the reset button next to the speedo/rev counter not the reset button on the wiper stalk. This reset button can be turned clockwise and you'll feel it click as per the instructions elsewhere in this thread.
Yes got it thanks. I was pressing the button that said RESET. Finally, it just twigged... its the trip reset, not the MFA or whatever its called
It worked thanks needed it myself

Hi guys it's a great tip but can anyone tell why I can't turn the trip reset button on dashboard?
I got the flashing zeros once but that's all I managed and the check engine indicator is still on so I geuss it didn't work.
Please help
