Re: removal of spanner symbol on dashboard of renault megane cabrio

most garages should be able to do this for you. ring around a few local ones... one might do it for you for nothing or perhaps jut charge you 1/2 hours labour. They just have to hook a doodad up to it and press a few buttons.

1-switch ignition ON (lights)
2-press button on end of stalk(RH)until spanner symbol flashes & distance remaining to next service appears in the odometer display.
3-press & hold the little stalk on dash display(trip reset) for 10 secs until new service interval is displayed.let go of stalk.
4 turn ignition off.
this is for megane 2 2003 onwards as you never said what year yours was.

Have similar problem on a 99 A4, says 'Service' when I switch on the ignition. I tried the solution here but no joy. Any ideas?

is it 'OIL' in the display??
if so -
1,press & hold the RH stalk (instrument cluster)
2,switch ignition ON
3,the letters OIL will appear in the instrument display
4,release the RH stalk
5,pull out the LH stalk for aprox 2secs to reset the display.

Thanks mondeoman, I'll try that. The stalk on the left is for the analog clock, so not sure if it'll work but I'll give it go!

Hi m8,
try this,
1,switch ignition on
2,pull & release the trip stalk(RH),a spanner symbol or the word service will appear in the display within 5 secs
3,pull & hold trip stalk until the message "..." or "service in ....KM... days" appears in the display
4,release trip stalk,
5,switch ignition OFF.;)
