If your Audi A3 is in limp mode, the only way to "reset" it is to address the underlying problem that triggered it initially. Limp mode safeguards your transmission from severe damage due to a faulty or deteriorating component, so it's crucial to refrain from exiting limp mode until you've completed the necessary repairs or replacements. If you're sure that the faulty part is no longer causing issues, you should be able to park the vehicle, switch it off for at least a minute, and then restart it. If the A3 starts up without any transmission issues, it will not go back into limp mode, effectively resetting it.
