resetting oil light
I'm sure this has been covered often, but I can't find any info in the archives...
I just had my oil changed (not at the dealership) and wonder how to make the blinking "OIL" message dissapear from the trip odometer.
The dealer says I must take it to them (and give them $28). I was also told that I could disconnect the positive terminal of the battery for 10 minutes and fix it that way (I know I will have to key in the radio code afterwards).
Will that work?
Thanks,
Crawford

My guess is that he has an early A4... my '97 only blinked "OIL"
The newer models (the ones that can be reset without a VAG) don't just say "OIL".
So his options are to reset it with a VAG.
