VW Audi service light resets

**markmundy** · 18-09-2009,05:15 PM

Can any one help!

I am being told that 58 plate on model year VW Audi vehicles are unable to have the service lights reset using VAG COM.
Has any one come across this and if so have they found a solution.

Mark, what cable and software are you using?

**markmundy** · 19-09-2009,09:10 PM

I am using latest release 908 and Hex + Can connector (Ross-Tech). I can't see why it wouldn't work, but A few Audi techs say that VAG have modified the service reset protocols on new models and that Vag Com will not reset these models on variable service as the addaption chanels are changed/blocked. I haven't been able to try it out as no one I know has a late vehicle to play with.

If you can let me know that would be great. What year is the Phaeton?

As far as I know, we have no issues with our current release resetting service intervals or resetting the reminder. We have an '08 A5, '09 Jetta, and an '10 Diesel Touareg for testing purposes. As far as I have heard from the development guys, no issue here.

Did someone actually try and fail or is this all speculation?

From what I've read in this post, it's just speculation, Bruce.

Might just be a bit of hot air so to speak.

The reason I asked was quite a few local independant garages in my area have had problems resetting 58 plate onward VW & Audi's.
They are using Vag com and as I go mobile, I have spoken to them and they have said they cannot reser them. I have spoken to them and talked them through the process as I understand it and they still say it wont work.
I haven't yet been out to any of these vehicles and before I do I just wanted check to see if any one has had any issues.
