That's the thing - in '96 it is not possible to reset it like that. So, either VAG COM, or maybe a trip to a local AutoZone - I know they have tools to read error codes stored in the ECU, so they can probably reset service reminders as well.

What a difference a year (or two) can make. Perhaps in the newer models it will be easy enough to do with one hand (it takes at least two in the '98). :-)
