In this video, we will see how to reset the service light of an Audi A3 1.0 TDI 8P. We locate the buttons for resetting the service lights on the instrument panel, which are usually the speedometer and the partial odometer. With the instrument panel turned off, we press and hold the button for the partial odometer (on the bottom right side of the panel).

Without releasing the button, we turn on the instrument panel: the message "service oil" will appear. We release the button and then press it briefly.

The light should reset and the display should show the message "service" followed by the new expiration date. Turn off and on the instrument panel to verify that the light has turned off.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
