Fieldgate Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Climbed out my car yesterday morning with Service due in 900 miles. Climbed back in it last night and "Service Now" bong. I'm assuming that it should have gone another 900 miles, but will book it in anyway. Have other people had a rapid reduction in miles 'til service like this ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 The "service now" indicator does what it's told based on the sensors in the engine, which (boring bit here) measure how well the oil conducts electricity. It conducts better when it's warm, so if your car was cold last night when you started it back up again, this is probably why. Don't panic about it though, it should be fine - just get it booked in as soon as you can. Oh, and make sure you get a Mk5 GTI or Mk5 R32(!) as a courtesy car...

pingpongpo Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I was told by my local stealers that you've got another couple of thousand miles before it really needs doing. I took mine in when it said to. Remind me not to buy a second hand car from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
