i have a 53reg fabia vrs registered 31 nov 03 and i have only done 4400 miles and yesterday the inspection warning came on, i thought it was 10,000 miles or 1 year for the service and the warning has came on 2 mths early is this normal, will i have to service my car now or can i wait till the end of nov which will take it up to on year as i wont hit 10,000 miles in one year

Perhaps it was built 12 months ago and the supplying dealer forgot to reset it during the PDI.

Give the dealer a call and they'll give you some advice. I know when my first Fabia did this I was told not to worry about it as I could stretch it a few weeks.

They do generally come on a few weeks or 1000 miles early to give you time to book the car in I find.

thats what i was thinking, i have gave them a call now and they said its ok to leave it till the end of november

My octy is on variable servicing and has done 14.5k miles and is 18 months old, still no sign of it wanting a service hope my displays ok and not faulty. I bet it will need servicing near xmas when I will have no money and no time :thumbdwn:

If I remember correctly mine came on between 18-19K for first variable service, unfortunatly the Skoda mechaninc must have used the dash buttons to reset the service light so my next service light came on at about 29K - to keep on variable teh service indicator must be set via the obd port. It was a variable service as I supplied the longlife oil.

My service me warning came on at 16000 ish and said I had 1500 miles to get it sorted, so not bad. Service at the dealer cost me
