Archived from groups: alt>autos>audi (more info?)

I have a 03 A4 with 5 speed. I just had my 20,000 servicing. I noticed they
didn't reprogram the service interval. The manual says to turn off ignition,
and then, while holding down the "wrench" button, turn ignition on....and
after you see the word "service" push the reset button and it will
recalibrate. Unfortunately, when I do that I just get....depress clutch to
start engine. Any ideas?

Similar instructions in the shop manual for my '00 resulted in similar results. What did work was pushing both of the buttons (for clock set and odometer) at the same time.

I flipped the indicator for my cousin's TT last night, as his shop forgot to reset it too. Followed the procedure right out of the book, and he has a manual as well. If you still can't get it to work, consider heading back to the shop and have them reset it. Peter Smith >> Stay informed about: resetting the service

Because USENET is purely a text-based, and my directness has caused people to acuse me of being a dick. So to deal with that, I'll stick my "Not to come across as a dick..." line at the start of some of my lines. << I even called the service department, and they were confused >> Sometimes happens. If you do end up going in to the shop, see if you can sit in the car while the indicator gets reset. Peter Smith >> Stay informed about: resetting the service

Peter was referring to himself as possibly becoming a "dick" by offering his advice. Don't be a dork, JJ.
