My Octavia was given its first service last week by an independent (lease vehicle not my choice). It had 18300 miles on the clock - I do mainly motorway and always top up when necessary with the correct oil.

Anyway, this independent forgot to reset the vehicle's service indicator. So I complain and he pops up and does it manually. Now when I check the time-to-service it's 9700 miles.

Before I go ape at the lease company, can someone tell me if resetting the indicator using the trip reset method (manually) reverts the car to fixed servicing?

The handbook seems to imply it; the evidence on the Maxidot seems to indicate it; but I want to be sure before I hit the big red button...

Thanks

Hi Chris, you are quite correct, now go and hit that big red button

Big red button duly hit

Apparently, VAG dealers will not reset the service indicator "as a favour" anymore, they insist on re-servicing the vehicle (you know it's been done properly then I suppose ).

So, if the independent doesn't have Vag-com, I guess my car will benefit from two services!
