I typically turn the cap to hear 3 clicks. I had a civic earlier and it specifically said to turn till u heard 3 clicks - it has become a habit since then.

That said, I drove the car atleast 100 miles since I reset the light - and it has not come back yet. I have my fingers crossed!!

Audi and Bentley do give out random lights quite frequently. As an owner, you just have to live with it and get your way around ripoff dealer by getting the right diagnosis tool.
