|  Octy Servicing When an Octy is on fixed servicing should the service message come up on the screen? It is only about 8900 miles ago the car was serviced when I bought it, now this morning it is telling me it needs a SERVICE - OIL. Should this be the case? |

| If it's on fixed servicing a 1k count down indicator should be shown. So I reckon it should come up at 9k for 10k service, 19k for 20k service etc. If it's on variable the count down will come on whenever the ECU determines a service is required. Go back to your dealer and ask them to check whether the indicator was reset at the last service...should take them no more than 5 minutes.

| Check the oil level, you might need to chuck a bit more in before tonight just to keep the dealer happy...  Rob.

| its not the octy I am trading agianst the vRS, it is my wifes feista that is going then she gets the Octy 1.6. PS phoned my local Skoda dealer, apparently Service - OIl just means it needs an oil change service in the next 1000 miles or so. If it needs a more complete service it just says service. |

| Oh, yes, I remember now...well, check the oil, if it's low then top it up and see if the warning for the oil goes out. That said, on fixed servicing I get the "1000 mile" countdown - maybe the trip is that intelligent on yours it actually knows that the next service is an oil change service...  Rob.

| Won't be long before they indicate when it is time to hit the showers... Anyone looking for a PDA should consider trading his Palm Pilot for a car |

I dug the cars hand book out. It says that when the due date for the service is reached it will display either Service - Oil for an engine oil change service ot Service - Insp for a full blown service. | |
