Astra 'service due' indicator - John S
Can anyone help out and advise if the current Astra service indicator ('Insp' showing in the trip meter position) can be reset at home? This could save me a return visit to the dealer!


Regards

John S,

Someone posted this a little while ago and I saved it as a notepad file for future reference. However, I've not yet had chance to test to see if it works or not.

To reset InSP on Vauxhall:

Ignition Off
Hold Trip Reset In
Turn on Ignition
Still Holding Trip Reset wait for three dashes
Turn off Ignition
Turn on Ignition

Many thanks! Works a treat.

Kith - no mention in my handbook of this method. Page 30 just states it shows at the appropriate time, and the usual 'consult the dealer'. Have I missed it somewhere?

Regards

Yep, that's what it says in the handbook.
