Hi folks,

I took my car to the garage for a service, and the service indicator's not been reset. (It's a Pre-FL Octavia 2)

It's not a major deal but the beep when I turn on the car's bugging me! ;-)

The garage would reset it for me but it's a faff to take time out. Is there an easy way? (I don't have VAGCOM either before anyone suggests that.)

Thanks in advance.

Not if you want to keep it on variable no.

Shame. Ah well, never mind.

What if I don't care about variable servicing? (I'll probably do it early anyway. I just want to stop the beep.)

Then yes you can, do you have maxidot?

No, bog standard manual car, not the DSG/Maxidot.

(By the by, thanks for your help on this.)

1. Ignition off - Press & hold trip reset button.

2. Turn ignition on - wait for 10 seconds.

3. Release trip reset button.

4. Turn ignition off.

I think this is in the manual if you get stuck. As Tech1e says, this will change your servicing from variable to fixed servicing.

Hope this helps.

Thanks all.

(Note to self- read manual more carefully! )
