Service Indicator - S6

[BootyRallyrep]

Can anyone tell me how to reset the service indicator on the dash display on my 97 S6. Having just completed a full service on her this afternoon I need to start the counter again. It is reading 'IN 2' at present.

The only way is with a full version of vagcom.
A pain but, worth getting!

you

have to go in to dashpanel, adaption menu, and if i remember correctly its channel 05 uppwards, but this is with vas5052b

My old Mk 3 Golf used to say that but through various combinations of pressing the button for the clock would reset it as IIRC In00 was no service due, In01 was oil and filters, In02 was timing belt.

Did you not read my post?

No pressing of buttons resets the indicator.

I am surprised Herr Brignal hasn't suggested giving me a shout VAG COM is a very useful bit of kit

Resetting the clocks of Vag models circa 1993/4
====================================
1- turn on ignition (do not start)

2- Press the trip-reset button button on the speedo (the trip value will not reset to
zero but will reappear when the procedure is finished)

3- Turn off the ignition and thne release the trip-reset button


In the LCD display you will see the word "OEL"

Using the minute set button for the clock (lower one) you will reset the OEL interval
counter

press it - hold - release - 5 horizontal lines will appear in the display


4- press and release the trip-reset button

In the LCD display you will see "IN01" repeat step 3 to reset the inspection counter when required

5- Again press the trip-reset and rest the "IN02" counter if necessary


If doing an oil change only reset the "OEL" counter

If doing an inspection service reset both the "OEL" and "IN01" counters

If doing a full service reset all 3 - "OEL" "IN01" & "IN02"


6- Turn on ignition (do not start the car)

7- After the appearance of the "IN00" display turn off the ignition

8- You are done - the trip counter should read as it did before you started

Another method which has worked
==========================
The code on the mileage display when you start the car will read "IN01", "IN02" or similar. To remove this, use the following procedure (this should work on any VW with a digital odometer):

With the key out of the ignition find and press the odometer reset button (hold down)
Turn the ignition on (warning lights come on) wait about 10-15 sec until most or the lights are off (still pressing odometer reset button)

Turn ignition off (button still pressed) and remove the key

Release reset button

Interval should now be reset. If this is not the case, repeat the above procedure


If these proceedures do not work then you will need Vag com as mentioned above, but if its free its worth a try isn't it.
