How to Remove the Maintenance Reminder After Golf Servicing?
2 Answers
The method to remove the maintenance reminder after Golf servicing is as follows: 1. First, turn off the ignition switch to shut down the vehicle. 2. Then, use your left index finger to press and hold the "0.0" button located below the instrument panel. 3. Next, use your right hand to turn on the ignition switch, while keeping the left hand pressing the "0.0" button until the instrument panel displays the English words for maintenance service, then release the button. 4. After releasing, within 30 seconds, press the "0.0" button below the instrument panel once again. 5. Upon completing the above steps, the maintenance indicator light will be cleared. 6. If the maintenance reminder still appears after turning on the ignition switch, you need to repeat the previous steps again.
That reminder light keeps flashing after maintenance. I've been driving a Golf for several years, and it's usually quick to handle. Don't start the engine with the key, just turn it to the ON position, and the dashboard will light up. Look for a small button, usually labeled 0.0 or RESET, press and hold it for 5 to 10 seconds, then release when you see the maintenance reminder icon disappear or hear a beep. After resetting, the system will record the maintenance date, and it will remind you again next time—don’t ignore it and let it keep flashing. Doing it yourself is simple and saves a trip to the repair shop. Remember to reset it promptly after each maintenance to ensure accurate records and avoid internal errors that could cause minor issues. Regular maintenance is crucial for cars like the Golf, especially for the engine and oil changes, to keep the car in optimal condition.
