cause it's time to go in for your service

[generik777]

It means it's time for your scheduled service at the dealer. It's easy to reset, It tells you how in the book. Mine does anyway.

theres a writeup somewhere for it..

Can you tell me how to reset it? I can't find my book.

[andyrew]

Your car is about to service you... You just have to find the slot....

Haha I got a 2000. So which I can click on?

[generik777]

LOL, I didn't notice that. Just try both I guess.

Read the MANUAL?!

Do people when they buy a REAL automobile read the manual for Pete's sake?

[B5 Quattro]

Is it not telling you to get your oil changed ?
Thats what it says for my 2000 !?!?! (In the book)

[generik777]

Read the MANUAL?!

I can't find my book.

Lazy sod.

"Can't find my book": wake up and get lively. Go find one, and read it for the 1st time. It's obvious he never read it in the 1st place. Otherwise, any new buyer would've known what the icon meant.

No sympathy-

[SFexBOY]

is this a trick question ?

You got some issues. Try to control your self. + I am only 16 yrs old. I don't know much about audis. and yes I can't find my manual book. See generik777 was cool enough to show me where to find how to do it. Why don't you be like him.

You got issues: 16 and haven't read the manual? NO excuse: at your age I was 1 year away from enlisting. Grow up, get some nads, and learn your vehicle before you destroy it. Get out the manual, sit in the car, and read it from cover to cover before you go any further. Guys like you give Audi drivers a bad name. All flash and no pan. Repeating the same behavior (every time I get out and start my car....) and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

You and I both value this car brand. Go learn about it: READ.

Good luck.

Dude, what does that tell u in bold? he cant find it. so how is he supposed to read it? i cant find mine either, thats what this forum is for, to ask questions and to be nice to others. SCROOGE!!!!!!

[black99.5a4]

SO you drive around with a service light on forever.

Scrooge- nah, just tired of dumb. I like to help, and get it when asked. But I would not for the life of me persist in driving a car that says "I need attention". Take care of it, listen to it, and treat it right. Otherwise, get a fricken Honda. You don't deserve the Audi, and it doens't deserve you.

[B5 Quattro]

Hey culex3000, Dont worry about them. It must be the time of the month or something.
Ask your questions and dont feel any way !
But yes try and get a book so that you can go over these things. For mine its to do with Oil changes. I have a 2000 A4. What did you say yours was ?

[jturnbull]

I have the same thing and i tried what it said to do on that write up. Im pretty sure for the service light it needs to be plugged into vag.

Asshole ? I've never seen such pointless bitching ...

Oh yeah and I've never worried about the light since I do most service myself
