1.Insert your key into the ignition

2.Push in the odometer reset button, hold it in, and turn the key to the first click.

3.The display should read either "oil" or "service" if it does not, repeat steps #1 and #2

4.IT DOES SHOW - "oil"

5.BUT when I pull out light dimmer button -NOTHING happen!!!!

3.The display should read either "oil" or "service" if it does not, repeat steps #1 and #2.
4.To reset, pull out your instrument light dimmer button at the bottom of the tachometer.
5.Turn the ignition to the off position. When the ignition is turned back on, the display should be back to the trip odometer.

Note: This procedure has been confirmed on '98 and '99 model year A4's.

Default trying to refresh this older thread, procedure to reset doesn't work

have searched several posts, recent mech work by ind mech who could not reset Ln2 service indicator. I have a 98.5 A4 30v, no VAG and have read the owner's manual. When I push in (and have tried pulling out) the odo stalk and then turn on the ignition, nothing changes. I've tried doing at the same time, I've tried pulling on the clock stem, nothing changes. The owner's manual simply explains what the indicators mean and advises that the audi dealer can reset it.

Any suggestions, am hoping this is an east fix but everything I've tried so far has been a no-go
