Resetting INSP Service on VW Passat/Audio A4

If you have a VW Passat/Audio A4 of model 1996-1999 and you get the message INSP Service every time you switch the ignition on. You either need to send the car to an authorized service center for an annual service inspection or you can reset the message yourself.

In this article I descibe how you can reset the INSP Service message that pops up in the speedometer display every time you switch on the ignition. (Note! It only works on VW Passat/Audio A4 of model 1996-1999):

1. Press and hold the button that is below your speedometer (right button), at the same time switch the ignition on.

2. The message OIL Service should appear.

3. Release the right button (below speedometer).

4. Press the right button again and the message INSP will appear.

5. Release the right button (below speedometer).

6. Turn the left button (below the tachometer) to the right. INSP message will disappear.

7. Switch the ignition off.

Try switching the ignition on again. Now the INSP Service message should have disappeared.
