[N Jardine]

hi all
i serviced my leon today whoohooo, afterwards i took it to my local seat dealer to ask if they would turn of the service indicator (spanner) and they told me NO . because i didn't bring it to them to do they won't touch it. is there anything i can do myself or am i going to have to take it to someone with diagnostics skills? thanks

This has already been posted before. To quote a previous post:

Service light reset is as follows:-

1. Press and Hold the Odometer knob in
2. Turn the ignition on (do not start the car though)
3. Turn the odometer knob to the right and hold for about 5 secs.
4. Release odometer knob and switch ignition off.
5. Start car, Service indicator should now be gone

Its also in your manual too.

Quite right aswell.

We arent allowed to reset a service light if we havent done the service. Legally if we do we are verifiying that the service has been carried out correctly in the eyes of the law believe it or not.
