the lengths some people will go
> There's no way to 'reset' it?
on internet I have seen one of those barely legal "adjustment companies"
they want about 250 Euro ( US$200 ) for resetting a DIGIFIZ.
so there should be a way if you know how to.

I don't even know which one is the PROM on the circuit board,
everything is soldered in fine-pitch-technology and nothing is mounted on sockets
which all makes my own chances to reset it very small.
In addition I'm too scared to destroy anything when fooling around there.
Fortunately I have enough time left until the unavoidable will happen,
as my clock shows 95.000 km now.
Of course it would be cool to have the advanced options,
like digital oilpressure readings, intake vacuum metering, and so on.
BTW, the DIGIFIZ already monitors and informs about
inspection intervals and oilchange intervals.

try that with a DIGIFIZ, hehehe :-)
the real bad thing on a DIGIFIZ is, that it stops
counting after having reached 300.000km and only displays dashes then.
I don't know what this feature should be good for,
but it is described that way in the official VW internal service manual.
friendly Greetings !

I've adjusted a few while moving them between cars to keep the mileages
accurate.

i met this kid yesterday with an '84 rocco. while checkin' out his car i
noticed his odometer read 516 miles. i casually said something like, oh, you
got a new gauge huh? he responded " no, thats the original odometer. i took
it out and hooked it up to my dads dremel, stuck it in reverse and let the
miles roll off. it moves really slow though, it took 3 and 1/2 months of
straight running to roll of 96,000 miles."
