resetting the service
I have a 03 A4 with 5 speed. I just had my 20,000 servicing. I noticed they
didn't reprogram the service interval. The manual says to turn off ignition, and then, while holding down the "wrench" button, turn ignition on....and after you see the word "service" push the reset button and it will recalibrate. Unfortunately, when I do that I just get....depress clutch to start engine. Any ideas? |

<< Any ideas? >> Hold down your clutch pedal when you're doing it. If that doesn't work, just follow the procedures again (be sure the doors are closed), start the engine, and see if the indicator was reset or not. Peter Smith |

Similar instructions in the shop manual for my '00 resulted in similar
results. What did work was pushing both of the buttons (for clock set and odometer) at the same time.

I flipped the indicator for my cousin's TT last night, as his shop forgot to reset it too. Followed the procedure right out of the book, and he has a manual as well. If you still can't get it to work, consider heading back to the shop and have them reset it. Peter Smith |

Hmmmm....I always thought I was reasonably intelligent...but now I'm a
"dick"? I even called the service department, and they were confused....as have been a couple of people that posted to me. I guess we're all dicks.

Peter was referring to himself as possibly becoming a "dick" by offering his
advice. Don't be a dork, JJ. "JJ" > wrote in message ... > Hmmmm....I always thought I was reasonably intelligent...but now I'm a > "dick"?

<< Hmmmm....I always thought I was reasonably intelligent...but now I'm a "dick"? >> Naah. Not at all. Because USENET is purely a text-based, and my directness has caused people to acuse me of being a dick. So to deal with that, I'll stick my "Not to come across as a dick..." line at the start of some of my lines. << I even called the service department, and they were confused >> Sometimes happens. If you do end up going in to the shop, see if you can sit in the car while the indicator gets reset. Peter Smith |
