jhm1 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hi all, I have had a search on the forum for this and google but could not find anything. I have a 2004 2.0SE passat estate (petrol I know....but don't do enough miles to justify extra cost of diesel) and I am on the variable servicing and wondered if it was possible to somehow display how long the car reckoned it was to the next service and if so if this information is anything like reliable. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontyslapper Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hiya mate, I have an 04 2.0S Estate. My first service came shortly after I bought the car second hand at 16.5k - you get a warning about 3000 miles before its due. On variable it can be anywhere between 9000 and 24000 miles each time. Mine looks like its going to fall either just before 30k or a short while after as I'm currently sat on 26k and I'm expecting it to flash up anytime soon due to the mileage and the short time I've racked it up... 12k in 6 months and I only work a 25 mile round trip from home!! It must be the smile I get everytime I drive it - much better than drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark_90 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 And neither is that a short time to rack miles up. I've done 49k this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhm1 Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Thanks Pontyslapper, I bought mine at 11k miles (ex demo) and they serviced it (without me asking which was good) so I just wondered when it might come up. I don't do many miles about 12k a year (I think it has done 19K odd now) so I was hoping it would last till about 25k-30k but then again it does do a lot of short journeys so maybe I am asking too much. I guess I'll have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
