Cuprabob Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi Guys, How much warning does the MK5 R give for servicing when set to longlife? I just checked my time to service and it says 700 miles & 150 days. I would have expected it to be telling me something when I switch the ignition on. On previous VAG cars I've had they have flagged up either with 2K miles to go or 30 days. cheers, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilGT Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 You will start to get ignition prompts from 500 miles as far as i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Thanks, it popped up this morning at 600 miles so I guess it's programmed to come on at 1,000km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Had the car serviced this morning and everything went smoothly however, I've just checked the time to next service display expecting it to say 18,750 miles or 730 days to next service but is just coming up with --------- miles and ---------- days. Is this normal immediatel after a service as the car needs to run for some miles before it can calculate the estimated values or has my dealer made an @rse of resetting the service indicator ? cheers, Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
