Hi. Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but I can't see it.

I have a 2 month old 2010 2.0 TDI Elegance Estate set for variable mileage servicing. After 1600 steady miles the service indicator was showing my next service due in 14200 miles. I contacted my dealer who said there was nothing to worry about and this wasn't out of the ordinary. Now after 1930 miles the service is due in 13600 miles. Is there something amiss here or am I being overly concerned? My last car (08 reg same model) displayed a much different pattern. Under normal driving the indicator reflected a proportionate display - as the mileage increased the miles to go to service decreased roughly in line. The only change was when I towed a caravan and this made a big difference - heavier load on the engine! Has anyone had a similar experience or know anything that can help answer my worries? At this rate my first service will be due BEFORE the non-variable 10,000 miles schedule.

I wouldn't be too overly concerned with that, just keep an eye on it as time goes by, the service indicator for mine does something a bit similar, maybe you should keep a record of how much it drops by every time you do say 200 miles and see if it was just a jump in the figure or something more long term.

I don't know if I was sold a load of old ballierics, but when I bought mine I was told 2 years or 30k miles before service, the 2 years would probably have come first, but after I did a little nosing about (the joys of button pressing) I saw that I had variable, will be about 19ish k before it whinges I think.
