A bit of a thicko's question here (which I'll apologise for in advance), but after you've had a service, how does your car 'know' this and turn the warning light off for a Service?

The reason i ask is because I'd planned to get my 2000 Bora 1.6S serviced by a non-VW garage (75% cheaper after all), but now I'm wondering if this is possible, as I'm starting to think that maybe only an approved VW/Audi garage will have the right software to turn this light off?

Any ideas - and before anyone asks, I am NOT blonde :biglaugh:

The service indicator is reset, either by diagnostic equipment of a combination of moves using the ignition or instrument cluster buttons.

Most garages will be able to reset this for you, just ask to make sure ;)
