Hi,

Maybe this is a silly question, but... Is it possible to reset the overall odometer? Does anyone know how? Or only dealers have the tools to?

Thanks

You need a tool such as K-Commander to do such a thing, and you need the PIN for the clusters to do it. Not the easiest thing to do either...requires an eeprom reflash on polo clocks.

They will not reset the clocks - VW will only code clocks once, and thats at factory, or if the clocks are new from the dealers being fitted to replace an existing set.
