Video tutorial

In this video, it is shown how to solve the problem with the onboard computer of the Volkswagen Golf IV; however, it is not a solution that can be effective in 100% of cases, because sometimes it may be necessary to replace the odometer or the display: but before doing so, it is worth trying.

We turn off the car and open the front hood.

Then we remove both battery terminals and wait about ten minutes; when we put the battery terminals back on and turn on the car, often the problems have been resolved. However, let's not forget to have the radio reset code on hand, because if the problem has been solved, we will immediately have another one.
