Volkswagen Maintenance Reminder Light Reset Procedures
EGR MAINTENANCE LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
EGR light comes on at 15,000 mile intervals to indicate EGR
servicing is required. After checking EGR system, reset mileage
counter. See RESETTING MILEAGE COUNTER.
OXYGEN SENSOR WARNING LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
Oxygen sensor (OXS) light comes on at 30,000 mile intervals
to indicate oxygen sensor replacement. After installing new sensor,
reset mileage counter. See RESETTING MILEAGE COUNTER.
RESETTING MILEAGE COUNTER (IF EQUIPPED)
1) On some Rabbit and Pickup models, remove instrument panel
cover plate. Reach into opening at top left corner of speedometer and
pull release arm to reset counter. See Fig. 1. Left arm resets EGR
counter, right arm resets oxygen sensor.
2) On Vanagon models, locate mileage counter under spare tire
or under driver's floorboard (in-line with speedometer cable). Using a
pointed instrument, depress reset button. Ensure light is out.
3) On all other models, locate mileage counter (in-line with
speedometer cable) and push White reset button. See Fig. 1. Ensure
light is out.Fig. 1: Resetting Mileage Counters

flash for approximately 3 seconds in odometer display window as
ignition is turned on. When servicing becomes due (every 7500 miles),
appropriate service code will flash for approximately 60 seconds. The
four service codes available for display are as follows:
* IN 00 (No Service Necessary)
* OEL (Oil Change Service) Every 7500 Miles
* IN 01 (Inspection Service) Every 15,000 Miles
* IN 02 (Additional Servicing Work) Every 30,000 Miles
2) After performing required maintenance, each effected
service code displayed must be reset individually. For example, at 15,
000 miles service codes OEL and IN 01 will both need to be reset.
3) To reset service codes, turn ignition on. Press and hold
odometer reset button located below speedometer. While holding button,
press clock reset button (lower button for digital clock) located to
left of fuel gauge. Release buttons. Programming mode is now
activated. Service code OEL1.S (distance counter) should be displayed.
4) Press clock reset button once more. 7500 miles should now
be indicated on display. Desired mileage for reset may be attained by
pressing clock reset button. Mileage displayed will decrease in
increments of 500 miles each time button is pressed. This feature
should only be used to calibrate mileage when instrument cluster is
replaced. When desired mileage is displayed, press odometer reset
button.
5) Service code OEL2.S (time counter) should be displayed.
Press clock reset button. 6 (months) will be indicated on display.
Time counter for next oil change may be set by pressing clock reset
button if instrument cluster was replaced. When desired time is
displayed, press odometer reset button.
6) Service code IN 01.S (time counter) should be displayed.
Press clock reset button. 12 (months) will be indicated on display.
Time counter for next maintenance interval may be set by pressing
clock reset button if instrument cluster was replaced. When desired
time is displayed, press odometer reset button.
7) Service code IN 02.S (distance counter) should be
displayed. Press clock reset button. 30,000 (miles) will be indicated
on display. Desired mileage for reset may be attained by pressing
clock reset button. Mileage displayed will decrease in increments of
500 miles each time button is pressed. This feature should only be
used to calibrate mileage when instrument cluster is replaced. When
desired mileage is displayed, turn ignition off. Programming is now
stored in memory.

GENERAL INFORMATION
METRIC CONVERSIONS
METRIC CONVERSIONS
Metric conversions are making life more difficult for the
mechanic. In addition to doubling the number of tools required,
metric-dimensioned nuts and bolts are used alongside English
components in many new vehicles. The mechanic has to decide which tool
to use, slowing down the job. The tool problem can be solved by trial
and error, but some metric conversions aren't so simple. Converting
temperature, lengths or volumes requires a calculator and conversion
charts, or else a very nimble mind. Conversion charts are only part of
the answer though, because they don't help you "think" metric, or
"visualize" what you are converting. The following examples are
intended to help you "see" metric sizes:
LENGTH
Meters are the standard unit of length in the metric system.
The smaller units are 10ths (decimeter), 100ths (centimeter), and
1000ths (millimeter) of a meter. These common examples might help you
to visualize the metric units:
* A meter is slightly longer than a yard (about 40 inches).
* An aspirin tablet is about one centimeter across
(.4inches).
* A millimeter is about the thickness of a dime.
VOLUME
Cubic meters and centimeters are used to measure volume, just
as we normally think of cubic feet and inches. Liquid volume
measurements include the liter and milliliter, like the English quarts
or ounces.
* One teaspoon is about 4 cubic centimeters.
* A liter is about one quart.
* A liter is about 61 cubic inches.
WEIGHT
The metric weight system is based on the gram, with the most
common unit being the kilogram (1000 grams). Our comparable
units are ounces and pounds:
* A kilogram is about 2.2 pounds.
* An ounce is about 28 grams.

TORQUE
Torque is somewhat complicated. The term describes the amount
of effort exerted to turn something. A chosen unit of weight or force
is applied to a lever of standard length. The resulting leverage is
called torque. In our standard system, we use the weight of one pound
applied to a lever a foot long, resulting in the unit called a foot-
pound. A smaller unit is the inch-pound (the lever is one inch long).
Metric units include the meter kilogram (lever one meter
long with a kilogram of weight applied) and the Newton-meter (lever
one meter long with force of one Newton applied). Some conversions
are:
* A meter kilogram is about 7.2 foot pounds.
* A foot pound is about 1.4 Newton-meters.
* A centimeter kilogram (cmkg) is equal to .9 inch pounds.
PRESSURE
Pressure is another complicated measurement. Pressure is
described as a force or weight applied to a given area. Our common
unit is pounds per square inch. Metric units can be expressed in
several ways. One is the kilogram per square centimeter (kg/cmý).
Another unit of pressure is the Pascal (force of one Newton on an area
of one square meter), which equals about 4 ounces on a square yard.
Since this is a very small amount of pressure, we usually see the
kiloPascal, or kPa (1000 Pascals). Another common automotive
term for pressure is the bar (used by German manufacturers),
which equals 10 Pascals. Thoroughly confused? Try the examples below:
* Atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 14.7 psi.
* Atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 1 bar.
* Atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 1 kg/cm
ý.
* One pound per square inch is about 7 kPa.
