Volkswagen Tiguan: How To Reset Oil Service/Inspection Light (2009-2021)

Howdy-doody! Tell me what’s new! We will be working on a Volkswagen Tiguan guys for today’s post, and we’ll show you how to reset the oil service light and the inspection interval as well. It’s quite straightforward to reset on these, but it is done in two parts the oil service separate to an inspection interval.

After I posted the last content of the VW oil change, I realized that some of my previous oil service videos have lacked one step and reset the service light. And let’s be honest, there are people out there, myself included, that neglect to reset the service indicator after performing an oil service. But there’s no reason to because it only takes a minute. So let’s get into it now

If you have a 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan and you want to reset the oil change or service light, then this is what you have to do:

  • Hold down the 0.0/SET button underneath your speedometer
  • Then turn on the ignition without starting the engine and the wrench will show up in the left-hand corner
  • After that, within 30 seconds release the 0.0/SET button and then you just want to hit the ❏ button underneath your tach so the wrench on the dash will go away

  • Now the first thing we’re going to do is turn the ignition off
  • Then we’re going to press and hold the 0.0/SET button there while turning the ignition on
  • Wait for the message and then release the 0.0/SET button and press the OK button on the steering wheel to confirm

  • Turn the ignition on
  • Hit the ◄or► button until you get over to the SETTINGS menu

For the inspection light reset we’re going to do exactly the same procedure again but this time we’re going to put the hazard lights on.

  • While holding it you’re gonna turn  the ignition on but not start it

  • First, turn off the car and we’ll press the hazard button
  • Next, we’re gonna press and hold down the 0.0/SET button
