Important Notes

  • Resetting Service Now only clears the maintenance reminder; it does not perform the actual service.
  • Always reset the system after completing oil changes or scheduled maintenance.
  • Some VW models have separate reminders for:
    • Oil Service
    • Inspection Service

If the warning returns immediately after reset, check for incorrect reset settings, stored fault codes, or additional maintenance requirements.
