Octavia service

[Camlobe]

I'm sure this should be obvious, but I can't spot it from a quick flick of the manual.

 

Can you see, from the dash dislay when/how many miles it is predicted until the next service is due?

 

I should be on variable service intervals (I should have been before, but I wasn't) and the garage who did my Mot should have changed the oil/filters, etc, but I suspect as there was more work in the MoT than they or I expected, they might have overlooked it, so I'dreally like to check what the due date/miles are showing, if I can.

You should be able to find out when the car thinks that the next service is due by twisting the trip reset button between the tachometer cane speedometer either clockwise or anti-clockwise I forget which but one way allows you to reset the clock and the other should show the mike's and days to next service.

 

However, after reading your post, the garage could have reset the service interval but not done the work. Did your itemised bill list the parts and labour costs for the service?

Thanks for the quick reply, but it didn't quite work for me.

 

I can get to the time settings, no problem, I have (accidentally) reset the trip mileage, but of miles to service, there is no sign. Well unless it is zero.

 

I need to dig out the bill, but this is a garage I haven'y used before, and the oil is fdirtier than I'd expect, if they had done the work. Ideally, I want to have my 'ducks in a row' before I go backto them.

What happens when you twist the reset button the opposite way to adjusting the clock? I get a spanner symbol and the miles and days to service. However if it has just been recently reset I still get the spanner symbol but the miles and days are both dashes.

 

My car does not have Maxidot. If yours has then your display may be different.

Sorry about not replying earler - got distracted by some personal issues - but my car does yjis thing of switcching between the hors setting and the minutes setting.
