Strange but true
« on: April 26, 2013, 06:40:15 pm »
Hi guys.

I have gt tdi dsg. I purchased the car with 37000 miles on it and now it is on 43000 about 2 weeks ago I got a message on the dash saying "service in 3000 miles" and I thought fair enough that seems like an accurate figure. However, today a message has come up saying "service now!"

What's that all about?

Does anyone know anything about this?

Maybe it was easing you into the idea you need a service  :signLOL:

It's time or mileage based.

This. Just means you've triggered the time limit first instead of the distance. I've had the same thing happen.
