Since my car was serviced (for the first time) a couple of weeks ago, the service interval display no longer works. Prior to this, I could display the time and distance to the next service by turning on the ignition and pressing and holding the trip reset. A spanner icon then appeared together with the number of miles and days to the next service. Now all I get is the spanner and three dashes.

I queried this today with my local dealership but they did not know the answer. They checked four cars there, two new ones and two in for service: two displayed the miles/days and two displayed the three dashes.

Has anyone any thoughts on this? My car is set for variable service.

Sorry Chaps, silly question, how do you check this ? My car is set up for variable, so would this still be displayed ? Many thanks

salmac

You check the service interval as described in my post above. My car is also set up for variable service.

D'oh ! Sorry about that salmac, I didn't read the post properly. Too early in the morning and not enough sleep the night before, thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it ! Many thanks

Tried the service interval again today & it now shows 14600 miles & 700 days to service, not just 3 dashes. My guess is it takes some time after service reset to collect data & provide new estimate - a bit like some of the other trip computer functions. Its now about 5 weeks since it had first service, time to start saving for the next one - thats Skoda price!

You are correct, it does take time for it to work it out, until then dashes appear.

I didn't know about this feature.
Chacked mine today, it says "Service Now"

But the car is only 5 months old and 4000 km on the clock. Why is that?

Anyone knows the answer, please?

Thanks

After a 180 mile motorway trip today, I again checked my service interval display. It is now showing 16000 miles and 700+ days. As you say, plenty of time to save for the next service.
