Continue holding the "reset/adjustment" button with your left hand until the maintenance light enters reset mode, then release the right button (reset/adjustment button). 5. Within 20 seconds of releasing the right button, press the left "menu button" once to confirm the reset. 6. Follow the above steps to reset the Volkswagen wrench indicator, which will then return to normal display mode.
I recently had my Volkswagen Magotan serviced, but the little wrench light didn't disappear automatically. After some troubleshooting, I found that the reset method varies by model. For my 2018 model, the steps are simple: Turn off the engine, press and hold the '0.0' button on the lower right of the dashboard, turn on the ignition without starting the car, wait about 10 seconds, and the wrench icon will flash and disappear. For older models like the Passat, the button might be on the center console or steering wheel, so check the owner's manual or search online for tutorials. It's best not to press buttons randomly—if it's easy, do it yourself to save money; if unsure, just drive to the dealership and they'll fix it in two minutes. Remember, the wrench light is a reminder for an oil change—regular maintenance keeps your car healthy and durable.
