...through the climate control panel as per the article in the tech section? If so, i can't seem to get that to work. Press and hold recirc button....then press manual flow up or down and 1c should appear...right? I get nothing when i do that. I wonder what i forgot to reconnect...hmmmmmmmm

Default ummm that works for me, hold recirc, and then hit the up arrow.
but you still can't clear engine light codes
without a VAG tool on a 97'

I don't think that works for a 97.

Default works for me bro... we just can't reset our codes or anything like that..but
we can read info off the climate control display.
