The service on the wife's Rapid is approaching, but the warning on the MFD seems a bit early.

 

It's saying "Service now" at ~18,200 miles

 

It was last serviced 9 months ago at approx 8,800 miles so shouldn't actually be due until 18,800 by my calculations (the car is on annual / 10k fixed servicing).

 

Have I missed something, was it reset wrong last time, or is this normal?

Believe the car is actually counting down in km rather than miles, so is looking for 15,000 km which is around 9,400 miles.

 

However I notice in our Toledo owners handbook that there is a fixed 10,000 mile service regime with a different code to the 15,000 km but it's the first time I've seen such a thing mentioned.

So do we just ignore it and get it serviced at 10k as the schedule recommends?

Yes I tend to take mine to just shy of the 10,000 mile point for booking it in for a service.

Mine has been counting down since 8500 miles.  I've just had it done at 9080 with 300 miles on the count down as I had a long journey.  Plus i plan on changing at 3 years so I thought seeing as i've paid for 3 services I might as well get them all in early so I feel the benefit of it, rather than having the last one done and then trading it in.
