Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

If you look to the right of the dials (LHD car) its a button cunningly disguised as part of the air vent (same dash as late model 944 as far as I know)

POST 2Original post

You're right Andrew same on 968.....That has always been one of my favourite design features of the 944.It always makes me smile....sad I know!

POST 3Original post

Yeah, best feature. Loved it on my 944s. You are looking for a small button that looks like a ribbed plastic vent slide button. Same height (midway) as the rest, to one side of the vents.

POST 4Original post

Don't push it while driving as it will brake the speedo!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ahhhh I seeeee... who's the smart arse that decided to put it there then ? This would also explain why I couldn't decipher it from the dash diagram in the manual. I was following the lines back from the various controls and reading the Dutch/French to see if I could work out what each one was. I must have just assumed this one was something to do with the ventilation controls. About not resetting it whilst the car is moving. Will it actually break the speedo or the mile or trip odometer? Has anyone else encountered this?

POST 6Original post

I think the mile and trip odometer. My 968 had to have a new one fitted at 25,000 miles (previous owner) because of this.

POST 7Original post

Oops - I did this a few weeks ago, still works though. Thanks for the tip, I won't be doing that again!

POST 8Original post

yep I know two 944's that broke the tripmeter because of resetting on the move. Best not to risk it

POST 9Original post

I nearly did it again today! Filled up with fuel ready for the Dorset Dawdle and forgot to reset the odometer, just managed to stop myself pressing the button

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Daft question I know but, I can't find the button to reset the trip meter anywhere . Oh and the manual's in French and Dutch . Can anyone help?
