Odeometer error

Hi,
2009 VW Polo 1.4 Match
I recently had a key cut and programmed by Keys R Us. As the guy plugged in his programmer and started to program the key I noticed that the odeometer showed 'error'
When I pointed it out to him he just shrugged his shoulder and said that I would have to go to the main dealer to get it sorted. Great! That just cost me £60.00.
I have been to the main dealer and they have told me I need a new instrument console at a cost of several hundreds of pounds (I'm awaiting the final bill)
Has anyone else ever heard of this problem after a new key been coded?
Also a word of warning, don't use Keys R Us

take it back to keys r us and get them to sort it or present them with the invoice from VW.

simples....

If they caused the error they should fix it

for example would you go to VW and get it fixed if they broke the wing mirror off and shrugged there shoulders when you point it out?
