Step 1) Using your left hand, press and hold the "0.0" button, located at the bottom right of your instrument cluster
Step 2) While holding the "0.0" button, using your right hand, insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the on position (w/o starting the engine)
Step 3) Let go of the "0.0" button
Step 4) While it still says "Service Now", press the "M" button on the bottom left side of the instrument panel.
That's it!!
Saw this on JettaMKV.com I just did it and I know you want to do it.....

It's all in your Owner's Manual. The Owner's Manual is that Big Black Book, (BBB), located in the glovebox.

Who bother reading those anymore?
Just create a new thread and read through a few replies saying "USE THE SEARCH!!1!

" and halfway through the page someone will give you the answer.

I forgot people don't read the BBB because it's not written in Ebonics...

Re: Reset "Service Now" Indicator (cerny76)

Great tip! Even though I paid 130 pounds ($260 USD) for the dealer to perform the 5000 mile service (aka oil change) they didn't reset the service now reminder. This method works!
