Service Due Indicator - don111
Thought you may wish to know of observations I have made concerning the next service due indicator.

Firstly, turn on ignition, wait for instrument display to settle down, press and hold down trip meter reset and distance to next service figure (in 100's) will be displayed in place of mileage. Following this the days to next service is shown.

When my vehicle indicated next service due some 750 miles sooner than expected I contacted SEAT Customer Services to seek an answer to why. They can only state that there are no known issues with the next service due indicator but offer no explanation other than that the vehicle technician had not done their job properly. No response when I point out that a technician may rarely slip up once but not four times!!!!!!!

This leaves me in a position of wondering if other owners have observed similar characteristics.

Could this be common to all VAG models based upon the '5' platform?

Anyone care to contribute?

Thanks
