There are lots of replies to this if you actually do a search.
Anyway, Hold the trip button down whilst turning on ignition hold for 10-15 secondes and the display should flash and reset to "-- --"
Best of Luck!

That doesnt work on mk4s mate. You have to have the ignition on, then turn it off and press a series of buttons.

I have a early 1997 build Polo (6N I assume) and a very late build 1999 Polo. These are Australian delivered cars, both 1.6 8V Automatics and the service reset as described works for both.
I guess it is possible that UK build/delivered are different. Perhaps try it and see?

-(with the ignition off and keys out) press and hold the mile reset button
-turn ignition on
-wait until the display goes like '--'
-turn ignition off and keys out and release button.
