Is there any way other than going to the dealer to have the service reminder re set.? I had the first olilchange done at the dealer and was ripped for 100 Can. I saw they attached the hand held unit to reset the reminder. Any other was to reset the Nag ??

Thanks

Re: Any way to reset the nag service reminder

Look up the forum on VagCom. It is a handheld diagnostic device you can buy yourself for between $350 and $600. It will allow you to reset your alarms and warning, increase rev limits etc etc.

Yep, Vag-Com is the only method I know of. You can buy the cable for around $250 and download the software free. You just need a laptop to hook up to your car and reset the reminder. Like "Gunny" said, you can also alter various other parameters with the software. It's a valuable tool for diagnostics if you plan on keeping the car past the warranty period.

07GTIDSG; Which interface did you get (mini-can, hex com-can or other)?

You need to give some karma to the guy(s) that passed you the info. Ill have to use that one later too.
