turn on ignition
hold down trip reset button (keep it held down) while switching off ignition.
Let go of button, should read OEL - German for Oil!
Press the trip reset button until you get the message you get on start up (IN00 - IN01 etc)
Press and hold the lower clock button on the right hand side until ---- is displayed.

Cheers for that. Just did it, cleared INO2 then OELcame up, cleared that then IN01, cleared that. But now its got INOO when i turn the ignition on? When i press the trip reset to cycle through this option doesnt come up? So is this the normal code or an error code? If so what does it mean snd how do i reset that?

IN00 means no service due I believe (IN01 minor - IN02 major and OEL means oil service as I understand it?)

Have never bothered with those codes!
Now I'm not doing the miles in the car I change oil yearly and anything else when it needs doing!
