Is anyone able to advise if it is possible for me to re-set the service reminder on my Fabia 1.6 Sport, or is this something that only a dealer can realistically do?

 

I had my car serviced in early November by my main Skoda dealer, but only noticed afterwards - possibly a week or so later - that the service reminder had not been re-set. It was therefore advising that the next service was due in not many miles - with the usual "spanner" logo shown in the LCD display. When I took my car into have its MOT done in early December, made them aware that the service reminder had not been re-set a month earlier, and asked if they could see to that. When I collected the car, I asked if that had been done, and I was told that it had. After a day or so, I noticed that the service reminder had not been re-set, and now several weeks later, an alarm sounds every time I go to start the ignition. I don't really want to be listening to this for the next year/10k miles, but I'm so busy at work at the moment that I don't have any days off when their service department is open.

 

If anyone knows how a driver can re-set the service reminder, I'd be very grateful to receive instructions. Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much, UrbanPanzer. That's very useful; I'll give it a go within the next week, once things have quietened down. I appreciate your input.
