resetting ( Service Now ) messege

Baido · 07-25-2008

hi, after spending more than 700 $ on my 60.000 Km service, and it was mainly checkups, with no actual repair done, a (Service in 3000 Km) messege came on the screen!!!

and after getting help by searching the forums and the web, i finally was able to rest the warning, instead of going to the dealer again.
here is how to rest it:
1- press the milage resetting switch on the cluster while the car is off.
2- turn the key once, so the lights are on, but the car is off ( dont start the car )
3- after you do that, a ( service reset ) messege will come on the screen. simply press the wheel button on your steering wheel to accept.
and thats how i did it.

its very simple, and it should be somehow similar to touaregs with different options.
enjoy!

Good post! I'll point out to the North American crowd that our vehicles don't have this feature so this cannot be tested, but this information is probably of use to the rest of world crowd.

Hey aircooled, If this trick doesn't work on the US. models, than what does?

It does not work for we do not get the message in the first place. So nothing to reset. It is only a ROW feature.
