Newbie Steve yells: "What the hell... My odometer just quit" Newbie Steve asks: "Why" NON-Newbie Volks replies: >>>The gear often breaks if you reset the trip odometer while the vehicle is >>>moving. There have been several threads about making sure you only press >>>it when stopped. Oh, I get it, so this is part of the process of becoming an UN-newbie. So I am now supposed to revel in this moment, strip naked and yell... (sarcastically) "I own a Volkswagen... randomly breaking parts is what FUELS me. This is a 'FEATURE' not a hindrance. Why if I was 'ONE' with my vehicle I should have KNOWN that resetting the trip meter would cause a nuclear meltdown." So what happens if I press that little silver button down by the 110 outlet? Will my radio only play German folk music on Tuesdays? SERIOUSLY: Now that the damage has been done, this ex-newbie humbly requests that someone set me up with the name/number/email of the guy who will fix my dilapidated odometer gear. Your assistance is GREATLY appreciated. mailto:s.shane@pobox.com Steve (ex-newbie) Shane |
