Quote
Today I worked on an A3 model year 2010 with a speedometer that had white LEDs. I was unable to reset the service interval reminder (SIA) using VCDS. Longlife.
Is there a solution for this? Or can that currently only be done by the
?

Okay, regarding my A3 8PA... it's
most likely a case of misuse due to the user's unusual procedure.
"Bending" via the assistant:
1. Switch to flexible interval.
2. Flexible service reset.
Best regards, Rainer.

I put my service on hold.
Then, a long list appeared, and I selected "Service Reset - Longlife (Rest of the World)."
The adaptation channels were rewritten, and it also indicated that the service had been reset, but the "service due" light continued to illuminate.
Best, Chris.

Normally, it is sufficient to select the correct entry for the service reset using VCDS-RKS, i.e., for a standard diesel model for the EU, select "Flexible Oil Service Reset (Longlife/Rest of World/Diesel)".
If the settings might be incorrect, first perform the "Change to flexible Intervals (Longlife/Diesel)" option.
Best regards, Rainer.

Please attach the SRI-Log.TXT file from the /VCDS-RKS/Debugs/ folder here before you continue searching blindly. Okay, at least we'll see the actual values, but it does indeed sound like a user error.

What work was carried out?
Oil change? Inspection (based on time or mileage)?

The new values were successfully saved, service indicator reset complete!
Okay, I'm guessing it's the entry from the 15th. September is the relevant month.
Here as well, it can be seen that the time since the last inspection and the mileage since the last inspection have not been reset.
Success would have been achieved, for example, by performing the "Mileage-based Service Reset (Rest of World)" and "Time-based Service Reset (Rest of World & Great Britain)" procedures.
Thank you to RedR32 for pointing out the error regarding the engine/vehicle; the post was mistaken.
Best regards, Rainer.
