On my 98 A4, you have to reset the service indicator. The manual shows how
or you can probably find it by searching either these archives or the forums

Re: 99 Audi A4
I believe the procedure is easier by using the *****/buttons in the dash.
Procedure should be in the owner's manual.
I think I had to turn off the service light of a 2000 A4 this way.
This page may help but I am not sure if it works for the '99

It's not a problem. Whoever did your oil change (probably not an audi
dealer), did not reset the oil reminder indicator. A car has no way of
knowing that the oil has just been changed. You need to reset this
indicator manually every time you change your oil.
