2 Answers
19 Bora maintenance reminder reset method is as follows: 1. Turn off the engine and rotate the key to lock the steering wheel. 2. Press and hold the button on the right side of the instrument panel ("0.0/SET") with your left hand, do not release. 3. While keeping the right button pressed with your left hand, turn the key to the ignition position with your right hand (only until the instrument panel lights up, not starting the engine). 4. A "wrench" symbol indicator will appear on the instrument panel and remain steady (not flashing). 5. Release the left hand and press the button on the left side of the instrument panel once. 6. The wrench symbol will disappear, indicating successful reset of the maintenance light.
As an ordinary office worker driving a 2019 Volkswagen Bora with frequent usage, I find it quite simple to reset that annoying maintenance reminder light. First, turn off the engine and cut all power. Then locate the small button on the instrument cluster, usually the odometer or trip computer button. Next, press and hold it while turning the key to the ON position without starting the engine. Keep holding for about 5 to 10 seconds until the screen flashes, and the maintenance reminder will disappear. Remembering this procedure is crucial, otherwise the light will stay on, distracting you and compromising driving safety. By the way, this reminder is actually a useful feature that prompts us to perform timely maintenance. Changing oil and filters when due can prevent major overhauls and give more peace of mind during long trips. I've found that checking every 5,000 kilometers helps the car run longer and smoother.
