Resetting the maintenance interval

My 2018 GLC shows the maintenance being over due on the start up screen. Turns out the Audi dealership where I bought it had done an oil change and all but did not reset the computer. I have watched the Youtube videos and even printed up the instructions but for the life of me, I can't get to the menu that I need. What is the secret? Any help would be appreciated.

Service Light Re-set

Hi, I'm afraid to tell you it can't be done by patting your head and rubbing your belly. You need to re-set via OBD port, with a code reader with the ability to re-set Service Message. Or take it back to seller and get them to do it. ..

Google W205 maintenance reset. Plenty of videos showing how to do it. I just did oil change at 6K and reset it my self. Took 30 seconds.

I had to watch multiple times too. Try Google written instructions too. You have to do the steps perfectly. Wait too long after one step and it won't work.

Here is what I do on my 2017 GLC: - Doors and hood closed
- Ignition to position one
- Set basic mileage display with trip meter (shows overall miles)
- Press "accept call" button on steering wheel, followed by"OK" button within 1 second and hold until menu pops up
- Then scroll to "assyst plus" and confirm with the "OK" button, follow prompts for reset

Hope that helps.

Hi, the procedure you're trying to use may well work on the W205 model, but the GLC is designated as X253/C253. and it doesn't work. The re-set is via the OBD socket.

I can confirm this does also work on my 2018 GLC 250 (X253)

Thanks everyone for your assistance, I was able to reset this morning. Literally took less then 30 seconds, I was shocked.

Thanks again

Glad you weren't right about this not being possible, despite how adament you were.

I am just hoping the procedure is similar and still possible on my new 2020. I won't need to try for a year.

Hi, I hope I am wrong. Maybe I can't access mine as the warning isn't showing. When I try all I get is the number of days left until service is due. I've got a Foxwell Diagnostic scanner that does the trick though.

Thumbs up Service warning re-set

Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa. My warning came on today, and I managed to get into the service/maintainance menu. Could even select Rolling road test (for MOT), and history menu.
