    If we told you that, we'd have to kill you... :ninja: 

     

    Seriously though, just press and hold the 'set/reset' button on the left hand stalk while turning the ignition on.  Release the button once 'test mode' has been entered.  And then cycle through with single button presses.

    You're unlikely to get any meaningful fault codes from that function but the other tests can be useful.

    I'm guessing if your car doesn't have a 'set/reset' button on a stalk you're just stuffed, right?

    Not necessarily.  I haven't tried it on lowline Mk2 clocks, but it might also work by holding the trip reset button while switching ignition on instead.  Feel free to try it and let us know!

    It should work on a 2006 Mk2, it does on mine. As above hold in the trip reset button from before ign on to the point where it changes to display mode.

    To decode the fault codes from the cluster, if there are any, see:

    On the LX cluster, do you cycle through the tests by pressing the trip mileage reset button?

    What tests can it do?
