Resetting service indicator

[speeddemon]

Hi guys

As the topic states...I'm planning on servicing my own car due to the fact that labour charges is gonna cost me R800 :thumbdo:
So i know how to change oil and replace spark plugs etc etc but i dont know how to reset the service indicator:fencelook:
Can anyone tell me how that's done or do I need a special tool for it?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated thank you:thumbs:

Hi Bud
I'm not sure what car you're driving on the e30,e36, e34, etc its simple. You use a paper clip but you must be very careful, there's a diy on bmw36blog.com or just buy the diy tool. Just google it

you do it with the key

-Ignition key must be off
-Press and hold the trip odometer reset button in the instrument cluster (left button), and turn the ignition key to the first position.
-Keep the button pressed for approx. 5 seconds until one of the following words appear in the display: "Oil Service" or "Inspection", with "Reset".
-The service due is shown with "reset" if the coded minimum consumption limit has been reached and resetting is possible. If "reset" is not shown, the minimum limit has not been reached and resetting is not possible.
-Press and hold the reset button again until the word "Reset" begins to flash.
-While the display is flashing, press the left button briefly to reset the service interval. After the display has shown the new interval the following will appear: "End SIA".
