Hehe, is this in the manual? You know what they always say....
Well done btw! Problem solved I would suspect.

Tonymy01: ain't that always the way. What's the old adage about only reading manuals as a last resort!

I'm not sure if it's true but my dealer said that vw need to pay a $50 licence fee for the traffic. And thus they disable it.

only some coding needs to be done to activate it, see alanzidane's post.

Anyone know how to reset the "Service Now!" warning ?

Ive tried the Hold 0.0 / turn on ignition / let go 0.0 then press it again to reset combo - it then says "service reminder reset" but actually doesnt.

Halp ?

Live Traffic. Just for interest's sake, mine works in Perth. Just went thru the menus as someone suggested a while back, and it seems to be doing its stuff. Sticks warning triangles on the Nav screen, and has a never ending list of reports, listed by increasing number, on the Traffic screen. These reports are current - great assurance while parked on the Mitchell Freeway this morning all the way between Hepburn and Powis!

Ben: I've successfully used the process that you have described a couple of times on my Golf. Real strange that you can't reset it ( I'm assuming that some time has elapsed since the last reset). Only other suggestion is to try it with a VCDS cable. You probably don't own one, but VWW has a thread of forum members that might be able to help (see below).

@DV52

Thanks very much for the explanation of the potential problem with my wipers. I hadn't been on the forum for a while and only just saw your response now. When I get home I'll give your suggested solution a try.

Hey guys,

Just a quick question regarding my new golf wagon. I was looking underneath the rear bumper yesterday and found a large rectangular opening. Is this standard or is there supposed to be some sort of flap/cover that's been removed and not been replaced.

Cheers.
