When I turn the key a code comes on the mileage counter it say in 02 what does this mean and what do I do to get rid of it please.I can not see any problems with the car it drives great and does everything it should but as its a old 1997 polo the code could have been there for years I don't know as I have only just bought it has a ne battery starter motor and new starter motor bush and has very low mileage and has been serviced aswell with all the new bits changed that needed changing. But its just that code?

many thanks paul

That is "Service 02" / "Inspection 02"

In order of appearance:

OEL
IN 01
OEL
IN 02

Each time the indicator is reset via the instrument cluster Odometer and clock minute buttons.

This should be outlined in your owners manual. Or do a youtube search.

The above information is for Golf and Jetta Models of the same year with regards to North American Market.

Reset buttons might be different for your Euro Vehicle.
