Dear All,

 

I have a 2010 Octavia II FL 1.4 TSI, upon which I've just done a DIY service for the first time. The car is on fixed service intervals. I'd like to reset the service light, but the procedure described in the owner's manual doesn't seem to work. I've tried several times, both with the ignition on and the ignition off, but the declared procedure doesn't reset the light.

 

I've found an alternative procedure described on other internet sites (including as a YouTube video)and, before I try it, wonder whether any of you have any experience with it? The alternative procedure is as follows:

- Ignition off

- Press and hold button within instrument cluster

- Ignition on

- Release button

- Press and release button another time

- Rotate button clockwise

- Ignition off

 

My key doubt is that the articles that show pictures/video to describe the alternative procedure always seem to show an instrument cluster that's not exactly like mine - I guess it's a pre-FL cluster.

 

Are any of you sure that the alternative procedure works on an Octavia II FL?

 

Many thanks,

 

WACH

The later cars may need VCDS or a dealer visit to reset the service light.

I tried the alternative procedure described in post #1 above and it seems to have worked.
