Octavia II Pre-FL: The average fuel consuption recorder resets to zero over night. Anyone have any idea what might be the problem?

That's correct. Option 2 is for long term readings!

That's correct.  It resets after 2 hours of standing idle.  It's like a "current trip" average fuel consumption.

 

Average 2 goes to 99 hours then resets.

 

it's in the owners manual - worth a read.

Now I feel stupid! I am from the Czech Republic and the manual is as clear as mud on this.  I downloaded the English version and it's clear how this works.  I have owned the car from new and this has irritated me for the past 7 years. Why oh why did I not ask the question sooner!!

 

Many thanks John and Brad for taking the time out to respond.
