@Yetianimal - were you able to check if my previous theory was correct?

 

Mostly to help anyone else in a similar situation but also as I'm genuinely curious. I've added my post below for reference:

If I remember correctly, if you enable "digit speed" in MFD data, it might hide the "Alt. speed dis" option...

 

I haven't got a similar car to confirm this but it may explain why it was missing and then reappeared after the reset. You may have unintentionally caused it but of course the owners manual makes no mention of this...

 

Disabling the "digit speed" should restore the "Alt. speed option".

I just checked the MFD data options on my 2017 2l SE DSG 4x4 and I couldn't see anything like that.

Have you had the large MPH readout enabled?
If not you won't see that.

Nope, it's bog standard just like the OP said his was.  So it seems to be still a bit of a mystery how his MFD managed to lose its km/h display.

I think one of the ways to do that is to try and change it to display a MPH display with something like Carista but not going through all the steps necessary.

I cannot see a dealer going into the menu's to change the display on the Maxidot while doing a PDI.

It is not a Dealer,  it can be some untrained properly staff or fitter or whoever. The issue is that occasionally incompetents do get it wrong at PDI,s. The same type that miss Transit blocks on the suspension.   They try to fix 

errors of their making, or trying to get the In Transit milage back to zero to then have the Delivery miles only showing.   Then when getting the changed to Fixed Service and not an oil service and an inspection service showing at different times.   If a new owner misses what went wrong from there very start like KMPH missing on the dash they can miss other strange stuff that should not have been touched.
