Default Trip Computer stuffed?

Hey guys, for sum reason, i cant reset my trip computer.

Well, it resets for fuel consump, kms till fill up, and average speed, but i cant reset the distance traveld..

Anyone the same?


Also, when im on bumpy roads, i keep hearing a squeeky noise at the back of my car.. cant find the problem.. maybe suspension?

You're not talking about the actual odometer are you......although mine I do seem to have to hold in longer to reset the trip rather than the others.

A few have found the spare wheel causes the squeaks in the back. Check the big screw holding the wheel down in place is tight. I've been lucky- it had a couple of squeaks early on, but they disappeared.

Cheers,

Oh man : don't tell me there's problems with the new fiesta already? I know that new cars and all cars have problems of some sort but I guess we can only hope for the best? Fingers crossed :Reverend:

The dealer's still working out how to fix the annoying rattly I've got in the dash of my Polo Gti.

Nah, resetting it while driving shouldn't have done anything to the trip computer. Take a deep breath and relax. All is fine and dandy. Worst comes to worst, just call up the dealer and ask the service department about it. Maybe they might be able to tell you what to do. Unless...they happen to be just as stump as you are then it may just be some sort of software error? Just guessing...
