Audi: Service indicator

    Service indicator

    I've just had my car serviced (Audi A4 2.8 Quattro - 2000 Model) which is on
    a variable service setting. The service intervals are up 19,000/2 years yet
    the car is indicating the next service is due in 9300 miles. I would have
    thought this should be 19,000 as the car has just been serviced.

    Is this normal or do I have to speak to the dealer about it ?

    Thanks in advance

    Richard

    Hi Richard,

    my guess....the interval 9300 miles equals roughly 15000 kilometers which is
    standard service interval here in Germany for Audi.....

    IIRC (from my A6 2.7T - my RS6 is not eligible for VSI), that is the
    starting point for determining the next service interval. It should
    adapt as you use the car. If it says 5300 miles in 4000 miles time,
    then you should start to worry. It may be that the garage has set it
    for fixed service interval, but they should be familiar enough with this
    stuff now to have got it right!

    Does your invoice for the service make any reference to to 'fixed' or
    'variable'?

    Yes it is. In the first few hundred miles the computer determines if
    the interval can be extended. Don't worry unless it remains like that
    for the next 1000 miles.

    In the service book they marked it as variable.

    Depending on your driving patterns this reading will change. If you do
    only highway driving with little to no stop-and-go traffic and no short
    trips, you may get up to that 19k, but otherwise no way.

    Cheers,

    UPDATE : Service indicator

    I have now drove about 400-500 miles since the service. The indicator is now
    saying 13900 miles so has appeared to have learnt. My question now is will
    this now start dropping as I drive the car or is it likely to rise/fall as
    it continues to learn.

    Just interested.

    Many thanks

    Richard

    Could someone please post how to reset the service indicator again?
    I just opened this newsgroup and missed out on that one.
