Complete instructions on how to reset the oil service engine indicator of most car brands without the use of an additional computer
This is how you do it on a MK4 Mondeo, worth a go:-
1. Close all doors.
2. Turn the ignition key to position II.
3. Simultaneously press the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal and hold for a minimum of 15 seconds.
4. The oil change reminder indicator will turn off. This confirms that the reset procedure has been correctly completed.
Press and hold the R/H button.
Switch ignition on.
The word service will appear in the trip recorder display.
Release button.
Turn L/H button to the right to reset the display.
Switch ignition off.
Sorted!
This will not work if the vehicle is on longlife service intervals!
Depending on your car/engine, it works it out as 10000miles or 12months, whichever comes first I think.
On a MkIV Golf you reset it like this:
1. Push and hold the odometer button.
2. Turn on ignition.
3. Turn digital clock button clockwise, and choose the service you want to reset.
4. Turn off ignition.
Your Service indicator should now have been reset.
I would imagine the above is the same on a Polo. If not, hopefully someone will come along to help!

Most models of the Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 are equipped with a service reminder system that displays a notification light on the control panel when service is due. The onboard computer tracks driving conditions to determine when to illuminate the service reminder light. The service technician at the Mercedes-Benz dealer or garage will reset the service light for you when he performs regular maintenance on the car. If you do your own maintenance, you can turn the light off yourself.
1. Turn the ignition switch on. Do not start the engine.
2. Press the information menu button on the left of the steering wheel repeatedly until the total mileage is displayed.
