Use the mk5 section for these questions.

Do a search too, I'm sure this has been asked and answered before.

VAGCOM will reset it.

Just sorted it out guys anone else that needs to reset theres.

When the car is off, hold the reset button on the right side of the dash (0.0). Then turn the key on (not the engine) and once the service now words come out on the display press the minute(m) button on the right. That should turn the service now off.

FYI the re-set in this way only works if your car is set to T&D, not the long-life regime. :afro:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?
