    There's a drop down in VCDS.

    I haven't done it, just noticed it one day.

    Is that true? If so, how are we to know if the dealership has hit the "reset" button before reaching 99KM?
    Can you please direct me to where you got this information?
    Thanks,

    No dealer would do that.

    Many things have the odometer reading recorded on them before the new owner collects the car. Not all that easy to undo.

    Thanks,
    Does it matter if they reset the delivery mileage?

    The whole idea of the function is to delete the mileage from the factory to the holding yard to the train to holding yard to the RORO to the holding yard to the bond yard to the car transporter to the holding yard to the dealership and a dealer swap or two then to the window tinter / towbar / PD / whatever at the dealership. That way, you won't have a big cry when you get he car & it has 50km on the dial.

    How do you think the car gets to Australia? Teleportation?

    I've done 170,000km in my car. 100km at the front end means nothing.

    If you didn't know, you wouldn't care. A bit like VW stupidly putting an oil temperature readout on the MFD. Suddenly people are worried about their oil temperature even though they haven't given it a thought in previous vehicles.

    And sorry, but I can't find a reference to it. Possibly I saw it in VCDS when I got the car. It was 2008 and the memory is a bit foggy.
