hello all
i recently got my mk4 serviced but through a family friend (not a VAG dealer!). even though the oil is golden the computer hasnt been reset to show it. its now telling me i have 400 miles left til next service. does any body know if i can reset it myself or if you know anyone who can? im in Enfield, North London.  

cheers

Try this....

Button A=r/h
Button B=l/h

OIL- oil service.
Press and hold button A
switch ign ON
release button A
the letters"oil" will appear in the trip display
turn button B to the right untill "----" is displayed

INSP-inspection service.
Press and hold button A
switch ign ON
release button A
press and release button A
the letters "insp" will appear in the trip display
turn button B to the right untill "----" is displayed
If required, clear the "oil" indicator from the display as above.
Hope this helps, Steve.

hello mate, sounds like it could be the solution BUT theres a problem. i lack brainpower!!! i dont understand what you mean by left hand side and right (button A and B) which ones are these?
sorry :-[

There is two "buttons" 'tween the speedo and the rev counter. They are the ones for the clock adjustment and speedo trip reset.
