Service Reminder

**LiFers** · 04-09-2015, 09:20 AM

Heya Folk,

I've Googled for hrs, I've already read the Manual, and neither of those options work. How do you reset the Oil Change Now! notification in a Golf R? There is no ignition to turn a key in (which the process in the manual requires) and pressing Start to go to Acc, or Running while holding 0.0 does give me a notification about the service, but doesn't seem to let me reset it.

Anyone... Please?

Isn't there something in the car's trip computer ?

Not that I can see, it just states Oil Change Now and the km. Some combinations of holding down 0.0 from off, from accessories, or from start and/or simultaneously pressing the start button do offer a "Service Now" screen that's different from the main one, but no combination of buttons I've experimented with get it to reset.

My Golf R is 6 months old, done <5000k's and the "service due" message is coming up. What's the normal duration?

12 months — it probably got set at the factory or somewhere in the delivery chain.

I think you'll find the reset procedure in the manual, otherwise get the dealer to do it for you.

Interval is 12 months or 15,000kms.

I'd pop into the service department and get them to take a look at it. The dash cluster is probably programmed with the wrong intervals. Not a big deal, takes about 5 mins to sort out.

Hi Guys,
Recently did an oil and filter change on my TDI Highline.
I know there is already a thread on this, has anyone had any luck resetting their service now reminder?
I tried to do it manually with no luck, would a normal mechanic have the software to be able to do it? a VW dealership told me I have to get it serviced at the dealership for them to remove it (no wonder they have a bad reputation)

Cheers
Steve

Steve - it's easily done with a VCDS cable - where in Melbourne do you live?
