Ifyou mean the CEL: Don't know where you are (geographically) but in the US, stores like Autozone will tend to loan out scan tools. Most of the time, it's free (you might have to give them a 100% refundable deposit or something). You can check codes and reset the check engine light with such a tool.
For a maintenance light: Check your owners manual if you have it. There is most likely a simple "end user" procedure for resetting the light. If you don't have the owner's manual, try googling for "audi a4 service light reset". There are several results but it's not clear to me whether they are only applicable to certain years of the A4.
EDIT: Looks like bramley computers beat me to it. This is one of the procedures listed online but one poster claimed it did not work with his/her 1998 A4 which I believe is the same generation as your 2000. Hopefully it works for you.
If you do need a computer to reset it, it might be dealer-only or you might be able to do it with VAG-COM if you want to buy that setup or know somebody who has one. IIRC it's some software and a OBD2USB cable. It's Windows only I think.
This cable is good to have if you do any of your own work. Great for checking codes and in many cases you have to have it to complete procedures (throttle body adaptation, transmission fluid checking).
Reset service light indicator Audi A4. That it is the full procedure how to reset service light indicator Audi A4. If you like to reset any maintenance oil light after an oil change. Or reset check engine light, airbag light, inspection key or insp errors when maint reqd, for Audi cars. Or any error which appears on the display. Write in the search box the car name for which you want to find information, and find how to reset other service reminders when by yourself.
I have tried all the ways given on google and YouTube to reset my service/inspection notice on my 2014 Q5, but none of them actually work. I find it strange that Audi allow you to change the oil change required notice through the MMI but not the service/inspection notice. Am I correct in saying that the only way to reset this is using a VagCom or OBDeleven device, or is there some other secret way? I have a Fixd OBD2 running both Fixd and Torque Lite software, but can't see how to do it using these. Any advice would be most welcome.
Yes, that's what I thought. Thanks for confirming this. I've only done 4000 miles since the last service and am reluctant to have another one just so that they can reset the display. Need to find someone local to just reset the display for a nominal fee.
Hi Gareth, last service was a year ago and covered just under 4000 miles since then. We have another car and share the mileage so low usage really. I know that the recommendation is at least one oil change a year, but modern synthetic oils are not cheap and I'm sure they are good for a couple of years at least.
Hi Gareth, thanks for this. I don't think my psyche would ever allow me to change the oil twice a year, but take the point about doing it at least once a year. The dashboard count down says I've 22 days to go, so will probably get it done soon after Christmas.
Your new Audi A6 is equipped with smart technology that can track your service due, and remind you when it's time to get in contact with your local Sugar Land or Houston-area Audi service center to schedule an appointment.
Your car tracks both time and mileage passed since the service interval was last reset. When there is a set time or distance (whichever comes first) left before the next oil change is due, the service reminder system will display a quick message whenever you turn your Audi on or off.
When you're coming up due for a service, your Audi A6 will start to be more assertive. When turning the car on or off, you'll see one of three messages: "Inspection due!", "Oil change due!", or "Oil change and inspection due!"

This light is triggered by the odometer when it reaches a certain number. This usually results in a "Service" message illuminating on the instrument cluster. The light should be reset after performing the appropriate service on the car. The procedure is easy and should take less than five minutes.
Remember your car may have been serviced before and parts replaced with different size fasteners used in the replacement. The sizes of the nuts and bolts we give may be different from what you have so be prepared with different size sockets and wrenches.
