My car: 3 Door, 1.8 GTI 125bhp, 1998
Problem: Recently, when I have been going out to my car usually after say 8 hours of inactivity, I get into the car and the clock time, average mileage, trip counter, etc have all reset themselves to ZERO.
I reset the time and everything works normally, I leave the car and come back, and again everything has reset to ZERO.
Also, the Yellow seat belt reminder light is permanantly ON - it used to extinguish after approx 3 seconds.
Initially, thought low car battery, but the vehicle stills cranks over and starts ok.
Does anyone know if a seperate battery is used for the above functions, or have any idea why these problems could be happening???
Help is much appreciated.
