03 1.2 How do you switch off the service reminder? - charla
Hello. My wife has a Soda Silverline estate. which was recently serviced. Before it was due the Oil plus the little spanner appeared. It has now reappeared. I have checked the oil level and it is fine. Short of trying to find a garage is there anyway it can be switched off. When this happened before the Skoda dealer said that it only meant a change of oil was needed.

Can anybody urgently help please.

Thank you

Apparently it's mentioned in the handbook, but a google search suggests

"at the bottom left hand side of you speedo there is a button press this and hold it in then turn on the ignition release the button as soon as the word oil appears. Then turn the button to the right until the word oil is erased and replaced by _ _ _ then switch ignition off. Repeat for the other reminder"

another google search suggests

"Switch off the ignition and press the reset knob of the trip counter below the speedometer and hold.
Switch on the ignition and release the reset knob. The message service or service now appears in the display.
Turn the knob for setting the clock to the right until the message is reset."

Let us know how you get on.
