Maintenance Interval light is set though the computer. Either the servicing shop can do it for you or you can invest in a VAG-COMadaptor/software that plugs into your OBD connector. Check ebay/amazon for VAG-COM. Cheap ones will let you reset a check engine light or reset your service interval but not much more.
lock and unlock from the drivers door. if that does not clear it then you need to get the key fob reset to the immobiliser system which is actually in the instrument cluster. this is done with an audi scanner or VAG software. not nice!
Did some research and it seems to me you might want to have the brake pads looked at. It might be telling you it is time for a brake job. That would be the first thing I would do. I also see where after the brake job, you still need to find a mechanic shop that can reset the cars computer to make the light go off.
Hope this helps!
get the vehicle scanned for the trouble code most auto stores such as auto zone/advanced auto scan for free check ur local area the check engine comes on when the computer senses a problem or something is not reading right if u want when the code is read the store or mech can and usually do reset the computer
In the past I had the same problem with new pads!
You must check up if new brake pads electrical wires are OK. Try as follows:
1. Disconnect only new brake pads wires from the vehicle electrical circuit.
2. Extract old brake pads wires from old brake pads.
3. Insulation wear cap from old brake pads wires.
4. Connect old brake pads wires on the vehicle electrical circuit.
5. Switch ignition ON and start engine.
Now the wear light must go off !
