service light
« on: September 11, 2010, 06:43:30 pm »
sorry if this has been covered before but i couldnt find anything on it, my service now display came up this week and i went out today to reset it but thought i would change it from LL to time and milage service as i only do about 5000 miles a year, i think it worked alright as the vcds said it worked and the service now display has gone when i start the car but when i turn on the ignition with the 00 button on the dash it still saying service now? im sure it should say 365 days of something like that??  hope you understand what im trying to say  :stupid:  ?

 thanks  neal

If its been reset the car sometimes has to be driven for a certain distance before it displays anything correctly
