Hi Mondeoman.

Have a 2005 Renault Scenic, just got it serviced at 58000, not with renault, and followed the instructions here, next service interval coming up at 30000, should be 10000, anything I can do to change that.

Thanks a mill

2005 Renault Scenic 2 instructions are


1. switch ignition 'ON'

2. Repeatedly press the button on the RH stalk until the 'Spanner' symbol flashes & the distance remaining to the next service appears in the odometer display.


3. press & hold button for approx 10 secs until the new service interval is displayed.

4.Release button.

5. Switch ignition 'OFF'


I hope this works for you.
 
Hi Mondeoman
Fantastic thread. Hope that you can help... I need to remove the spanner from the dashboard display, the car has been serviced, but only at a local garage. My car is a 54 plate Smart Fooofor. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Mondeoman,
Brilliant info on this thread.....
I tried the above to remove the service indication from my 2003 Audi A4 1.8T and it worked but now when I press the little spanner button (button A from above) the display reads
' Service in
---- Miles
---- days'
How can I get it to read the correct service interval again?

hi wondering if you can help me as I've tried the tips given already and nothing worked.

I've got a 2004 Polo which has longlife servicing. however when I first got it from new the service interval light came on around 11500 miles. took it to my local vw garage where i bought it - they said as it's longlife servicing it doesn't need a service and they reset the indicator for me.

Took the car in at 18000 miles as advised and had it serviced - service interval indicator wasn't reset at that time probably as it wasn't flashing, and sure enough at around 24000 miles it went off again. So despite my car having longlife servicing the service interval indicator seems to be set to go off pretty much every 12000 miles.

I'm really hacked off at the idea of having to traipse to my local vw garage to have it reset every 12000 miles (though they don't charge to do it) and if i can do it myself that'd be really handy, especially since it appears to be of zero use to me anyway.

I used the advice given to someone else about holding trip button, insert key and turn ignition on, turn off and remove key then release button but absolutely nothing happened and next time i turned the car on the spanner flashed again. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?? a few places i looked at said the vw gaarge have a computer thing that plugs in to reset it but when the guy reset it for me last time i don't remember him plugging anything into the car's computer or anything??

2. Switch Ignition 'ON'

3. Service message or Symbol is displayed.

4. Release Trip Stalk.

5. Turn stalk to the RIGHT untill all counters are reset.

This should work.

best of luck.

Hi, mondeoman, thanx for the more-than-useful thread. I have a 1995 Audi A4 1.8 T(B5) and tried to clear the "OIL" warning using your solution in post #12 (for a 1999 Audi), but it didn't work for me. Could there be some differences, or am i doing something wrong? Thanks a lot for all your help....
