1 : Turn the ignition key to position II without cranking the engine.


2 : Simultaneously press and hold the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal for approximately 15 seconds until the oil change reminder indicator starts to flash or the "Service Oil Reset Complete" message appears in the information and message center (if equipped).


3 : Release the pedals.


4 : Check that the oil change reminder indicator has turned off or that there is no "Service Oil" message in the information and message center (if equipped). If the oil change reminder indicator is still illuminated or the "Service Oil" message is still displayed, turn the ignition key to position 0 and repeat the procedure from Step 1. If it has turned off or the "Service Oil" message has disappeared, proceed to Step 5.


5 : Turn the ignition key to position 0 and leave it there for at least 2 minutes so that the powertrain control module (PCM) fully powers down and updates the non-volatile memory (NVM) in the PCM



6 : Turn the ignition key to position II without cranking the engine and check that the oil change reminder indicator is not illuminated or that there is no "Service Oil" message displayed.

7 : Turn the ignition key to position 0.

Only thing i'd add to that is on almost every mk7 i have reset, it's taken way over 15 seconds for light to flash .. 45 - 60 is more common in my experiance. Other than that - spot on
