So I have a UK MK7 GT 2013. Service light is on and it's been serviced and to save going back to the garage who forgot to reset the service warning I thought I'd do it myself. However, I turned on ignition, holding down the 0.0 button. Up comes Service reset I press 0.0 again and it says "service reset". Only its not as the warning comes up again when I switch on.
Anyone any clues please ?
I, too, went through this on a 2017 Mk7 GTI Sport yesterday. And, yes, I had read the owner's manual (imagine that!) and watched several videos beforehand specifically because I was concerned about pressing the Start Engine button without actually starting the car. (That, too, is a trick in itself, btw.) But pressing the 0.0 button
precisely as prescribed -- and you'll have to take my word for it that I followed the instructions to the letter -- never worked. Eventually I discovered that the car responds to profanity. The trick seems to be yelling truly obscene words over and over -- the more disgusting the better. And LOUD, too -- to the point that your spouse actually comes to the garage to complain you're scaring the dog.
In fact, I have no idea why the oil service light finally cleared, but I guess I have 12 months to figure it out.
