Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • service rest

    can any one tell me how to reset the service reminder on an 06 mkv TDI 2.0 litre diesel with out taking it to a dealer. $1000 for a 65000k service has pretty much insulted my inteligents.

    not doing the service will do more than insult your "inteligents"...

      It's in the car information book usually.

      I trust you are going to have it serviced, even if VW don't do it.

        Thats about how much a major service costs at a dealership, you could take it to a VW specialist and pay a bit less, where abouts in Aus are you?

            I'm presuming you want the service indicator re-set, rather than giving it a rest

            Try this

            Ignition OFF
            Press and hold 0's button on dash (trip meter re-set)
            Ignition ON
            Release 0's button
            Press MIN button for 3 secs
            Ignition OFF

              thank you datracer 99 of course I will service it but not at a vw dealer where a cool 1000 dollars bought me oil and filters. While mugs like me pay it they will charge it. But I will try what you have told me and see if that turns the light and alarms off.
