How do I reset my computer on my 2001 VW Golf cabriolet. My oxygensensors and catylatic converter went out and I had to change all of them. My car now is trying to crank over and start but it don't start. I was told that I have to reset the computer. Is that true and if so, how can I do this?

Those components have no affect on starting. Something might have been disconnected or damaged during the replacement. Apply standard no-start troubleshooting steps--check for spark, fuel, etc...

SOURCE: Idling speed vw golf petrol 1.4 2001

That sounds about right, the idle speed may not even be manually settable due to emissions regulations.
I know for sure you can't adjust the idle mixture anymore; that is determined by sensors and the on-board computer.
There may still be adjustments on some cars but they are often sealed with lead to avoid tinkering.
