Q3 INSPECTION REMOVAL USING VCDS

[john24susan]

HI ALL,

I OWN AN AUDI Q3 2L TDI 2015 QUATTRO CUVC. 8U WHICH HAS COVERED 30000 MILES AND IS NOW OUT OF THE AUDI WARRANTY AND I AM GOING TO MAINTAIN AND SERVICE THE CAR MYSELF IN THE FUTURE.

I HAVE JUST SEEN THAT MY DASH HAS FLAGGED UP THAT MY INSPECTION IS NOW REQUIRED? MY SERVICE WAS DONE 9000 MILES PREVIOUS, SO I AM A BIT CONFUSED AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON. THE CAR IS SET FOR THE LONGLIFE SERVICE PLAN, I HAVE RESENTLY PURCHASED A VCDS UNIT TO HELP WITH ANY ISSUES IN THE FUTURE.

I AM LOOKING FOR SOME HELP TO GO THROUGH THE STEP BY STEP PROCESS TO RESET – REMOVE THE INSPECTION INDICATION USING THE VCDS UNIT AS I AM NOT UP TO SPEED IN USING THE VCDS SYSTEM AND HOW TO CHANGE THE LONG-LIFE SERVICE TO A STANDARD 10000 OR 12000 MILE SERVICE PLAN.

MANY THANKS JOHN.

VCDS main screen, Applications, SRI Reset, select USA Service Reset and it will reset to 10k/1yr.
