Yeah, I think the odo and trip are both limited to 5 digits (99,999 for odo, 9999.9 for trip).

(Only cars I ever had that registered more miles on the odo were my Volvos - 999,999.9 miles max...)

You don't think the odometer goes over 100k? That is kinda weird. Heck, even my pontiac registered over 100k, although the car itself barely lasted that long.

94-99 VWs go up to something weird like 324,000 then they reset back to zero

yes, the trip will only read up to 9999.9

the odo should go into 6 digits...most of the cars i have seen since the mid 90's have a 6.1 type odo (999999.9)
