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.
