Take it in for service ..
If you do the services on your own you need a device that connects to the diagnose connector.

(The oil changes is prepared to be handled by users and the indicator can be reset from the 'CAR' menu.)

You can't reset it yourself on a B8 without a VAGCOM Diagnostic tool.
My local dealer will reset it for $20.

Mine is 2010 B8. By the way, do you know any secret menu/function in the car?

If you have Navi, scroll down thru the car/set-up and reset the reminder.

That is the oil change reminder. Not service.

The last I looked, the Service Reminder and oil Change Reminder are one and the same.

See:
Again you can not reset the service intervals in the MMI in the B8. Only the oil change interval.

From Owners manual
"Displaying distance and time to next service
In the Car menu, you can look up the distance and time remaining
until the next oil change and next service inspection. To do this,
select function selector button > Service interval display
? page 24, fig. 16.
The display may not be complete on new vehicles within the first
500 km.
Resetting the service interval display
Your Audi dealer resets the display after each service. You can only
reset the oil change display yourself. To do this, select function
selector button > Service interval display > Reset oil change
interval. The next oil change will be indicated as being due
15,000 km or one year (fixed service interval) after the oil change
interval is reset.
