Hello everyone,
Please don't scold me; I know this topic has been discussed very frequently in this forum. I also diligently used the search function and found numerous references. However, one question remains unanswered for me.

Is there a way to reset the service interval display on an "older" Audi A3 (manufactured in 1997) without using the full VAG-COM software? icon_question.gif
Currently, I only have the shareware version. Yesterday, I tried to reset channel 02 of the combination instrument using the instructions in the "Tips and Tricks" section, but of course, it didn't work. It only works with the full version. Is there any other way to do this besides purchasing a license for the full version?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,
Alex.

Oops.

Whoever can read will also have a clear advantage this time. icon_biggrin.gif
Ein konzentrierter Blick in die Betriebsanleitung hat das Geheimnis gelüftet. Das hätte ich besser tun sollen, bevor ich dieses Posting abschickte. MIt's my fault!!!!

I've also been considering whether I should just delete it. Rainer can feel free to do so if he thinks it's appropriate.

To make all of this make sense, here's some "substantial" information for those of you who didn't know it, just like I did:

Resetting the service interval indicator (prior to model year 1999).
Hold down the right button (daily mileage) and then turn on the ignition.
"OEL" now appears on the display. Simply drag it to the left using the left button (clock), and the entry will be deleted. "---" will then appear on the display.
By pressing the right button again, you can also reset the "Inspection" event. After pressing, "INS" will appear on the display. If you pull the left button again, this entry will also be deleted.

And all of this was done without a laptop or VAG-COM. Praise be to all simple solutions.

Regards,
Alex.

Hi,

It works exactly the same way as described in the error database for the Golf 3.

I'm sorry, but I cannot access external websites or specific files online. Therefore, I am unable to translate the text from the provided URL.

and

Okay, I'm ready. Please provide the German text you want me to translate.
