How do I erase this message (assuming its a 'planned' maint reminder)? The car is a '01 1.8L quattro 5spd, running fine, I do my own oil changes and filters, 58k miles, owned it since new.

Thanks!

 

It is in your owner's manual. There are two push-pull stems below speedometer. Pull them, turn engine off, then turn key on and pull again.

 

Insert your key into the ignition.
Push in the odometer reset button, hold it in, and turn the key to the first click.
The display should read either "oil" or "service" if it does not, repeat steps #1 and #2.
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.

 

so in other words... RTFM!!!!

Thanks Gentlemen!~
