Richmond Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 Here's your answer, taken from this forum. How much would you be happy to pay for that? QUOTE (NikpV @ Dec 29 2004, 12:40:49) IIRC, hold down trip reset when turning ignition on Apparently, you may need to open the bonnet for a while before doing it so that the car thinks that you've done something (not as smart as it looks, you see). This is probably standard Ford mechanic procedure. Quote
johnb80 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 Easy, open the bonnet for a few minute (this step may not be necessary), whilst holding down the trip reset, turn on the ignition. Job done. That'l be a quid to tsunami releif fund. :blink: Regards - John Quote
GSMGuy Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 AFAIK, this only works on the older Gals... I think you have to use VAG-COM on the newer ones.. Mike Quote
Andrew T Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 I've done it on mine (2001 Post Facelift). Quote
johnb80 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 AFAIK, this only works on the older Gals... I think you have to use VAG-COM on the newer ones.. Mike Well it works on my 2003 115 TDi Ghia Auto. Quote
GSMGuy Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 I stand corrected, apparently lol - there was a post on hera couple of weeks ago where someone said they had reset theirs with VAG-COM, so maybe you can do it either way? Mike Quote
buford_t_justice Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 It tells you how to reset the service indicator in the Handbook!! Definitely works on facelift models. Using VAG-COM is definite overkill for this !! Quote

r1ch Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 On my 02 Ghia, I made the mistake of holding down the trip computer reset button and wondering why it wouldn't reset the service light. What i eventually did was: With the ignition OFF hold down the odometer reset button Whilst holding the odometer reset button switch the ignitio to ON Job done Quote
