Default Reset OBC after replacing Mass Air Flow Sensor

Check engine light came on. I went to Pep Boys and computer came up with bad Mass Air Flow Sensor. They wanted 533 + labor and Diag to replace it. I found one at a junk yard for 50 bucks with garentee to work. Well I installed it and Check engine light is still on. Is there a way to reset the computer without going back to Pep Boys and them charging me 90.00 + dollars to hook it up to the computer?

Thanks
Chris

Go to a friendly AutoZone, tell them you replaced the part and want to get codes cleared.

There are no Auto Zones in Staten Island, NY. at least that I know of. Is there a no other way of doing this without buying a Vag-Com / Pep Boys etc...

ie: disconnect battery for 24 hrs or jump two pins on the obc etc...

Yep, you need an OBD tool - battery tricks wont work.

Default Do a search for "vag locator"...

contact someone near you with a vag.com, and ask them to clear it for you.
