2006-2021 VW Volkswagen Crafter Oil Service Inspection Light Reset Guide
Last Updated on June 7, 2022 by Nick
Good morning everyone, and welcome to van tip. Today, I want to share a quick tip about resetting the oil service and inspection light on a VW Volkswagen Crafter. I would think this will work works on all models of the VW Crafters, and I would think it will also work as well on Mercedes Sprinters because they’re more or less exactly the same up to that point.
So now I’m going to share with you what it was now; a few days ago, I had an issue where my service light came on. Basically, this warning light telling me that I needed to change the engine oil. So I’ve done it, and now I want to reset it.

Then what you do is you press the M button repeatedly to scroll through the menu until you get to the SER or OIL with the spanner symbol on the display

Once you on that screen you press and hold the 0 buttons until the Reset appears on the display
