Check Engine Light

Help!! I've been to VW a million times because the check engine light keeps coming on. It seems all they do is reset it. I've wasted alot of time and put alot of extra miles on the car driving back and forth for nothing. Well, it's back on....can anyone tell me how i can reset it myself????
Oh...it's a 200 VW Cabrio. :confused:

Word on the street is that you can take it to an Autozone, and get them to reset it, as well as give you an error Code so you can look into the problem. I also here theres a way to do it yourself, but i'm yet to find it...I'll just keep looking.
