Hey,

I had my car serviced and cambelt changed two weeks ago now at AMD Surrey, since then i have had a funny problem....

After having my car back a week (to the day) the service spanner popped up with an indicated 400miles until the next service, this then goes and the spanner with a small clock next to it pops up AGAIN and the number 359 (presuming day this time) this then goes and my mileage etc.... comes up..

Now having both of the prompts i took it back to AMD and they said sorry and fixed it stating that some how my car had been put onto BOTH variable servicing AND Fixed hence 400 AND 359 days?!

Now once again it was fine for a week and today a week to the day it was reset it has started prompting me with both again

So has anyone ever had this before? What the hell have they cocked up in my ECU :'(

I think i will have to take it so Skoda to rest correctly!

Cheers,

Dave

I didn't think that any Furbie had the ability to be set on variable? In any event, the servicing garage have fvcked up, and must get it fixed at no cost to yourself.

Apparently you can set it to be variable service intervals via VagCom........

I seem to have cleared the problem (for now) by doing the following...

Press in the trip reset button

Whilst holding trip button down turn on ignition key so dash lights come on

Then turn the clock adjustment button clockwise

you will see the display change from service to miles

let go of the clock adjust button and release the trip reset button

Just have to wait and see if it stays fixed lol

Variable service relies on you having an oil condition sensor in the sump and wiring to the ECU, which I didn't think any Furbie had.

mine has done a similar thing recently - the 40k service is due, and it was popping up with both a distance countdown and a time countdown. I think the time was pretty accurately forecasting a year since the last service.

this hasn;t happened before, but usually there's only been about 8 months between servicess so the clock hasn't come close to appearing. seems I've not driven as much in the last year.

Oh fair enough, your probably right then! I'm not all that technical...........I just went off what i was told at the garage so to them

I imagine it's possible to 'trick' the ECU into variable servicing, since it presumably runs generic PD130 firmware, tweaked for the Fabia vRS. Either way, resetting it should force you onto fixed servicing whether you're supposed to be on it or not, according to the manual. On this basis, what you did should fix your problem...

Fingers crossed it has fixed it
