A4 Self Service

[cka4]

Hi

How difficult is it to service an A4 tdi?

The dash is indicating service due and I have done oil changes before on other cars so how difficult could it be to service an audi? Same principles I assume, new oil filter, new oil?

The only issue I guess being how to reset the service indicator...

Thanks in advance for any advice

I did my first one on an Audi the other day, even pu a post up http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=104128
I found it easier than on previous cars I have had

As for the service indicator I managed to reset it but it isnt counting down, need to figure that bit out

you need to do around 500 miles for it to ajust then it will read correct

Ah, it didnt say that in the manual or Haynes. I just get -----miles -----days

Thanks guys for all your responses

Forgot to mention it's on long life service interval, so how does the service indicator work with that? Would the reset be more involved, i.e. hook a laptop into the system and perform some extra jiggary-pokeary?
