If not, then would be down to the dealer mechanics who can set/reset this...?

VAGCOM - think its under Module 17 - instruments

Might be some other modules you need to tinker with too though  :undecided:

You can do it using VCDS - just put Doc jnr to bed and Mrs Doc is at work making us safe as we sleep so I cant go and do it now  :sad:

I'll do a "how to" on it in the morning if you can wait  :wink:

Just did this yesterday myself, as I had asked the dealer but they left it on Variable  :rolleyes:

The MK6 uses the UDS protocol so you can't use the service applications in VCDS

You can do it the following way.

Go Into 17- INSTRUMENTS, and then ADAPTATION

Go to the following channel and change it from ESI to SID

I also changed the mileage to 16100km which equates to approx 10000 miles, I think it was set to 9800 miles

(http://www.thewindinglane.co.uk/images/mk6gti/service/service2.jpg)

And the time to 365 days as it was set to 372

Resetting the service on the MFD now sets it to 10000 miles or 365 days.  :smiley:
