I have tried the above mentioned "fixes" as well as slight variations listed in other posts, to no avail. I have a '97 A6 Avant and the service message I get specifically is 1n.2 According to the manual, this is just another service indicator (have OEL, 1n 1, and 1n 2). Is there another "fix" for those of us with mid 90's or is this something I need to have reset at the dealer (or just ignore)?

Thanks,

Brian

 

I have a 96 A-6 (non Quattro) and have the "Service in .2" for 60 sec or so every time I restart veh, then trip mileage appears. Have 120K mi, can this be cleared by me? Purchased veh with no manuals in glove box.
Thanks much

 

In my 01 A6 (2.7T), holding the right button, turning the key to the 'on' position brought up the service message (along with a beep). Then hitting the left button cleared it.
