It doesnt display only from 2000 miles. Well mine doesnt.

Mine briefly displays the miles remaining, or the days remaining, until the next service when you start the car. It displays for a few seconds then goes.

It always has done this. At the mo its doing it even though it states I need a service in 61 days or 6600 miles. A few months ago it stated 105 days, and so on.

As I said, its always given me this info every time i start the car, for a few seconds - so its not only limited to giving this info when the service date is closer.....

Is yours on long life?

This is what mine does, the same as my mk4 did.  Maybe yours has been vag-comd in some way to make this pop up every time you start up?  :undecided:

--------

Edit.

Just read your first post...  They all leave the factory on long life so unless your dealer took the initiative or you asked them to change it it is still likely to be on long life.

If its T&D you should be looking at your first service at 10k miles or after a year.

IMO T&D is the best regime for the GTI along with a long life oil.

I thought mine was on T&D - since its counting down the days correctly to a full year. I thought LL just popped up when it was almost time for a service - mine has been counting down the days ever since I bought the car - so from 150 odd days it sbeen counting down.

However, the miles dont tally up - since the car has done 6600 miles, and says the service is due in another 6600 miles or 61 days.

As I said, the days indicate its on T&D as it makes a full year, but the miles indicate its on LL!

Is it possible to check which I am on via the Highline?
