Question about 2000 Volkswagen Golf

Awaiting service light

I've just bought a GOLF 4, 1.6se 8v, 2000 reg MODEL. This car has 61000 on the clock and was just serviced, according to the service history at 60 000. When i turn the ignition, the awaiting service light comes on. This goes off when i drive. Does this mean anything?? could it be related to oil, water shortage?

Hi.
If it was serviced by a garage without VAG diagnostic software they may have been unable to reset the service interval warning.Or maybe they just forgot.

I doubt, (but I'm not 100% sure) that it means anything other than what it says. For the cost of an interface cable - about £15 -and the use of a laptop computer you can run free VAG diagnostic and reset it yourself. And check a zillion other things.

If you are worried, just open the bonnet / hood and check the oil and water the old fashioned way :-)

If these suggestions do help you solve the problem, please give my reply a rating to help others judge my knowledge / guessing skills. If they do not, please add a comment with more details so I can try to help you further.
Cheers, D

How do i switch off service now light on my vw golf 53 plate
Courtesy www.synthetic-direct.ca:

To reset the message displays, turn the ignition switch on. Press and hold the odometer reset button “A” located below the speedometer. Turn off the ignition while holding the button. “OEL” will display on the indicator. Press and hold the lower digital clock reset button or the analog clock reset button “B” until five dashes appear in the display.
If needed, next press the odometer reset button until IN 01 is displayed and then press the clock reset button until five dashes appear. If needed, next press the odometer reset button until IN 02 is displayed and then press the clock reset button until five dashes appear.
To exit reset mode, turn ignition switch on and when IN 01 appears, turn ignition off.
