Default VAGCOM- Please Help 98 2.8q

Hi,

I have the service code flashing on my cluster and I want to reset it.

A friend has the VAGCOM, does anyone know if the map is the same on my 98 A4 2.8q as his 97 A6 2.8q?

Does anyone know the map for the service code on my car?

Thanks!
Matt

I think he's referring to the InI light...

Default Yes, the odometer code. The CEL is not on or flashing.

Any ideas? We are going to try to clear it today with the VAGCOM.

Thanks again,
Matt

Default Try this...

1. Insert your key into the ignition.
2. Push in the odometer reset button, hold it in, and turn the key to the first click.
3. The display should read either "oil" or "service" if it does not, repeat steps #1 and #2.
4. To reset, pull out your instrument light dimmer button at the bottom of the tachometer.
5. Turn the ignition to the off position. When the ignition is turned back on, the display should be back to the trip odometer.

Thanks, I tried that. But, I have the analog clock (it is an early 98) and when I pull that stalk out it only changes the clock. It doesn't seem to clear the code.

Has anyone done this with the VAGCOM?
