Teodor Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Hi, I recently bought a 2012 Vauxhall Insignia, 2.0 CDTi auto estate car. The previous owner had just had the engine replaced and the oil had been changed (it appeared on the invoice). Unfortunately I didn't pick up on the fact that the oil life showed on the dash was... 32% (which is not okay if the engine and oil had just been changed). On my way back home I tried resetting it from the car's menu, but that didn't work. Now I bought an Autel DiagLink diagnostics device, which has the oil reset feature... unfortunately when I reach the final step, it seems to get stuck (waited for a few minutes and it did nothing, nor could I get out of that menu). Anyone been through such issues or has any solutions? Thank you! Edit: turns out I just didn't follow the right steps. Google helped me understand the operation needs to be done with the engine switched off and apparently I have to press the break pedal when pressing the reset button. Tried this and it worked.

Vauxhall Owners Club Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Brake pedal is usually the reason why so I always put the pedal down just to ensure it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
