Hi M8,

2001 Audi A6 1.8T

1. Press & hold the 'RH' trip stalk(in dash cluster)

2. switch ignition 'ON'

3.the words 'SERVICE' or 'SERVICE IN xxxx MI' will appear in the trip recorder display

4. Release 'RH' trip stalk.

5. Press the 'LH' stalk this time to reset the display.

6. The words 'SERVICE IN 10'000 MI' will apear in the display.

Any idea how to remove the engine warning light on a 2004 Audi A4 1.8T?

It comes on every couple of months. Same ol story. I bring it to a main dealer, they say it's nothing, just reset it and charge me for the priv.

Thanks in advance
 


hi,

on the dash of your Audi there are 3 buttons under the fuel gauge,from left to right the 1st one just forget about & the other 2 we will call 'A' & 'B' (B =closest to fuel gauge).

1.press & hold button 'A'

2.switch ignition 'ON'

3.release button 'A'

4,the words 'SERVICE' or 'Service in xxxx MI' will appear in the trip recorder display.
5,now press button 'B' until the display clears & is replaced with the new service interval or 'SERVICE'

6.switch ignition 'OFF'

lets know how you get on please.
 
Hi Mondeoman

Thanks for your reply.

Your suggestion has reset the service interval alright but it's the engine warning light that I looking to switch off.

As I mentioned, if I thought there was a genuine problem with it, I'd bring it to a main dealer but every time I do they say it just need to be reset and they charge for doing so.

Any help you could give would be appreciated.

Tks

Hi,
sorry i read the post wrong.
engine warning lights are normally only removed using suitable diagnostic equipment connected to the data link connector(under steering column).

Re Setting Service Light (Indicator)on Nissan Qashqai

I have a Nissan Qashqai which is nearing its first service, on these Cars the service light counts back from the service intervil to zero, then after service it needs to be re set.

First service on it is only Oil and Filter Change and Air Filter Change , which I will do myself as Main Dealer wants 170 euro + VAT for this and of course to re set the service light.

Does anybody know how to re set this, or is there a Web Site available to assist
 
Mondeo man could you assist on this I wasnt aware of this thread until my post was moved to it, i would be greatful if you could
