Audi A4 oil maintenance light reset method: Press the mileage reset button while turning on the ignition switch, hold for more than 2 seconds, then press the time adjustment button once. Introduction to the 2019 Audi A4L: 1. It is divided into two versions: front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The four-wheel drive version adopts a front-engine four-wheel drive mode, with full-time four-wheel drive and a Torsen differential as the central differential. 2. It is equipped with 1.4T and 2.0T engines, all matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The maximum output power of the 1.4T engine is 110 kW, with a maximum torque of 250 Nm; the maximum output power of the 2.0T engine is 140 kW, with a maximum torque of 270 Nm.
To reset the oil service light on an Audi A4, follow these steps: First, turn off the engine, then press and hold the button with '0.0' on the lower right corner of the instrument cluster. Next, press the ignition switch to power on (do not press the brake to start the engine). Wait until the service menu appears on the dashboard, use the steering wheel's directional buttons to select 'Reset oil change interval,' and press the confirm button to complete the process. After the operation, remember to turn off the power. For newer models, you may need to use the MMI system: navigate to Vehicle Settings - Service in the central display to reset manually. Two important notes when resetting: Always perform this operation after changing the oil, otherwise the system will miscalculate the service interval. If the reset fails, it may be due to incorrect timing in the steps; try repeating the process twice. If it still doesn’t work, visit a dealership to reset it using their diagnostic tool—they can complete it in just 30 seconds.
I just reset the maintenance light on my car the other day. After turning off the engine, simply hold down the button marked 0.0 on the dashboard, then power on the car without starting the engine. Wait for the dashboard menu to pop up, and use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to select the reset option and confirm. After resetting, I noticed a detail: the maintenance cycle will start counting from zero again, so it's best to do this on the day you change the oil to ensure the next reminder is accurate. For newer A4 models with touchscreens, the reset needs to be done through the central control screen under Settings > Service > Maintenance Cycle. Remember not to press the brake pedal during reset—the menu can only be activated when the car is powered on. It's a good idea to note down the reset date in your phone each time for easy tracking of the next maintenance schedule.
