Step 3 — Reset oil service (Small maintenance)

Choose Small Maintenance

This resets:

oil service counter

However, the wrench light may still remain.

Step 4 — Reset inspection service (High maintenance)

Return to maintenance menu
Select High Maintenance
Confirm reset

Why both resets are needed on VAG cars

On many VW/Škoda models, there are two separate counters:

Small maintenance

oil change interval

High maintenance

inspection/service reminder

If you reset only oil service, the wrench icon often stays on.
That’s why both resets are usually required after full service.

Additional Information & Compatibility Notes

Before using or purchasing any diagnostic tool for this procedure, always verify compatibility with your exact vehicle model, year and system configuration. Supported functions may vary depending on software version, hardware revision and regional limitations.
