Default you can do it without vag-com

if you want to change the interval you need to use vag-com but for a simple reset see the link<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/elec26.shtml">service interval reset</a></li></ul>

Only confirmed on my 98 &amp; 99. I have tried that several times on my 2000 with no luck.

Default 2000 is a little different but not much. hold right button, turn ignition to on, push left button.

By the way it is in your owner's manual

Default I did that exaclty as stated here. Everytime it made my clock blink as if I was setting it.

1. Insert your key into the ignition.
2. Push in the odometer reset button, hold it in, and turn the key to the first click.
3. The display should read either "oil" or "service" if it does not, repeat steps #1 and #2.
4. To reset, pull out your instrument light dimmer button at the bottom of the tachometer.
Turn the ignition to the off position. When the ignition is turned back on, the display should be back to the trip odometer.

Default re-read the three steps in the post you just replied too.

here they are again said a little differently

while holding the odo button turn key to on. then *push* the clock button.

I swear I'm not making this up. Check your owner's manual, look in the index in the back of the book for service reminder...

I swear I tried it just like that. Do you hold the odo reset in while pushing the clock button?
