Galaxy/Sharan etc service indicator - Peter V

Does anyone know how to reset the service indicator on a Galaxy/Sharan 2.8 as I do my own servicing. I believe it can be done without any special equipment. Should be the same for most VW engines.

If I can rudely piggyback and ask the same question for an Audi A6 (100 shape)

Re: Galaxy/Sharan etc service indicator - Ian Cook

Can't speak for the Galaxy/Sharan, but a bloke I spoke to told me how to do it on the Xantia (digital odometer) and he seened to think it was a fairly common procedure.

You hold in the button that is used to reset the digital trip and then turn on the ignition whilst keeping the button depressed for about 5 seconds.

On the Xantia the speedo steps through some strange readings until it gets to 12500 (probably a standard module used on other Citroens). Apparently these instructions emanated from the Berlingo. Worth a try?

Galaxy/Sharan etc service indicator - David Lacey

How old is the car?

I have a Service Indicator Reset Tool from Sykes Pickavant for resetting VAG Service Indicators. It only cost about £45.

I'm not too sure about any 'Heath Robinson' method.
