Service Reminder

[Idle]

12 months — it probably got set at the factory or somewhere in the delivery chain.

I think you'll find the reset procedure in the manual, otherwise get the dealer to do it for you.

[Umai Naa!!]

Interval is 12 months or 15,000kms.

I'd pop into the service department and get them to take a look at it. The dash cluster is probably programmed with the wrong intervals. Not a big deal, takes about 5 mins to sort out.

Service Reminder

Hi Guys,
Recently did an oil and filter change on my TDI Highline.
I know there is already a thread on this, has anyone had any luck resetting their service now reminder?
I tried to do it manually with no luck, would a normal mechanic have the software to be able to do it? a VW dealership told me I have to get it serviced at the dealership for them to remove it (no wonder they have a bad reputation)

Cheers
Steve

Steve - it's easily done with a VCDS cable - where in Melbourne do you live?

Service warning reset

Hey guys, I've got a 2013 golf 7 2.0L tdi.
I tried to reset the service warning multiple times but it comes back immediately .
This is what I'm doing:

1. I hold the 0.0 button
2. Turn the key without starting the engine
3. "Service interval reset?" Comes us on the dash
4. I press the 0.0 button
It then comes up with "service interval reset" then the following prompt says "service now"

Am i doing something wrong, can someone please help me lol very frustrating

GolfTdi: No you aren't doing anything wrong - You are faithfully following the manual instructions! I also have a MY13 mk7 and this process has never worked for me either. I have to use my VCDS cable (or one of my other diagnostic cables) to reset the Service Interval Reminder message.

Try this:

ign off
press rh button on speedo and hold
ign on
will say reset oil serivce?
release
press ok on steering wheel or stork.
ign off.

inspection:
ign off
press rh button on speedo and hold
ign on
will say reset oil serivce?
hold till display changes to reset inspection service?
release
press ok on steering wheel or stork.
ign off.

Not my info, but was sent to me a while back.

Yeah i thought that was the case. The warning goes away but instantly pops up again. It's really annoying.

Anywhere I can get a cheap vcds cable from? Located in sydney.
And is it hard to reset the service interval through a vcds

Doesn't work

On the my13 models, there is no oil change light either lol just an inspection warning

Thanks anyway!

Golf7Tdi: If you want to make the short ride to Melbourne, I'm more than happy to reset the SRI for you - and the only cost will be the opportunity for a chat about any topic that you choose!

On a more serious note - although I thoroughly recommend buying a GENUINE VCDS cable, they aren't inexpensive. If you only have a limited application, or you just want to dabble - then I suggest that you buy an OBDeleven dongle.

OBD11 is cheap, but it needs an Android device and good internet connection speed at the point-of-use. But even if you don't have an Android device - the additional cost of buying a second Hand tablet/mobile phone from FleaBay is still way cheaper. However, when you become infected with the incurable disease that will manifest with an interest in OBD diagnostics, then anticipate the urge to buy a REAL toy like VCDS!!

Don

PS: Have a read of the VWW thread on OBDeleven HERE
PPS: Please don't buy a fake/clone VCDS cable - you will just become another supporter of the despicable market in IP theft!!
PPPS: As a VWW forum member, you could also ask for help from a colleague that does own a diagnostic cable and that is local - see HERE
PPPPS: And lastly, no - it isn't difficult to reset the SRI - here's how it's done with OBD11

[Golf7Tdi]

Thanks a lot for that, I live in sydney so I won't be able to come to melbourne. But I was having a quick look at obdeleven and thought it was a gimmick. But I will buy it and have a play.

Thanks for your help!

Sucks that I can't change it manually though!
