What does the tool actually reset? A “change trans oil” light or message?
My son used the dieselgate rebate from VW to pay for the fluid change.
They give you $1000 but you can only spend it at VW.
They charged over $700 for the 40,000 service!!!
I believe it does the reset and is used for checking the oil temperature.IRC also shows trans oil level on some models?
There appear to be a few OBD readers for the car, but not all work with the TDI VW. A dieselhead friend recommends this one.

We drove a Suburban over 125k; a starter, brakes,heater core, most of the exhaust system,fluids...
Doubt if I spent $700 on ALL the parts.
Here is the D I Y info.
