So I changed my oil but cant clear the "Service Now" light

2 local shops did not know how to clear it.

Called the local Porsche Dealer, they say clearing the light takes 45 minutes and cost $140.

WTF?????

Anyone know of a reasonable option here in the Rhode Island area??

 

Buy a proper Durametric. About $200-300.

 

+997

It can pay for itself by avoiding one visit and it can do a plethora of other things.

I got mine at PelicanParts for $287 + free shipping and had it in two days.

Takes a few mins. I believe up to 05 all u need to do is reset in main module with durametric or a similar tool.

06+ you have to do the reset in main module and also pull out the cluster fuse to have it reset. 140$?!?!???!! Wow.

 

no cluster fuse pull necessary with durametric.

 

Wow I guess I am lucky...my dealer does it for free. My service guy just grabs the machine and does it himself. It took him 4 minutes last week to set it.

 

Confirming Quadcammer, no cluster fuse pull necessary with durametric.

 

If you find yourself in NYC in the next few weeks, you can borrow my Durametric....

 

A Porsche Indy might do it for free or maybe charge you $20. It takes less than five minutes and doesn't involve much more than plugging the Durametric into your car, cycling through the Menu and re-setting the indicator.

 

Don't forget that each time a unique car is plugged into the enthusiast version of the Durametric it uses up one of its three "lives"

 

I just leave the service light on.

 

I just leave mine on too. What a pain.

 

Dealers in Canada charge $150 plus tax!
After a couple rectal exams at the dealer, I bought a Durametric Pro.

 

Say it with me now "stealerships".

 

If you are a PCA member, check to see if someone local has a Durametric that can assist.
