fookin thing gives a loud bong when ign put on and in big reg letters on the dash service now lol

how the hell do i switch it off doing my head in now, ps car has been serviced just not by main dealer

 

needs someone with the ability to turn it off to do it.

i can, but you're likely too far from me.

 

what do you mean by the ability?

 

Did you get your scanner yet ?

If it`s got a VAG cartridge this will do it.......you will need the DL16 lead and S7 key.....the scanner will tell you the rest...

 

yer tried that m8 it said soming about ecu not listed on scantool database or similar

 

mmmmm What year is your PVCI up to ?

 

it does do everything else on the car mate for some reason just that one thing it wouldnt do


ive had it on all sorts of cars now including a 2005 astra all sems to work and pull/reset codes, bloody good tool once you get used to the menus

 

May need VAGCOM for that one then mate,will make some inquiries tomorrow.......maybe something stupidly simple though like holding the trip reset while you turn on the ignition or something...

 

i know im trying to look that one up too tried one method didnt work

 

You do need VAGCOM.

And when i say Ability, i mean VAGCOM lol.

 

yes!

If random numbers and letters, with buttons that allow you to reset Service lights and air bag lights floats your boat, then VAGCOM is for you!

 

or just go and get it serviced ya tight arse

on my 97 passat I can turn the service interval thing off just by using the buttons on the dash

 

Push and hold the milage reset while you turn on the ignition works on most of them around that age IIRC

 

na dont work on mine


if i was dodgy id just plug in my my mileage correction tool and wind the miles back a couple thousand that would switch it off

 

do a search this has been asked before!

 

RIGHT MATE PRESS AND HOLD DOWN THE MILAGE BUTTON.AT THE SAME TIME PRESS THE FOOT BRAKE THEN TUR ON IGNITION.TILL TIMER COUNTS DOWN

 

IF THAT DONT WORK PM ME YOUR PHONE NUMBER AND I WILL PHONE YOU 2 MORO .IVE GOT AUTO DATA ON MY COMP AT THE UNIT AND WILL CALL YOU 2MORO WITH DETAILS

 

no m8 i pressed the button pressed the brake then turned on ignition and nothing


madness as most cars are easily done

 

Instructions are in the car handbook

sorted it


you have to press the right button turn on ign wait a few secs then turn the left button clockwise and hold
