GTi service due

[tonyw]

Hi Everyone, just joined!

Now then, our 05 GTi (only 16k on clock) started saying service due in 6800 miles time. Then it went in for MOT at main dealer, after which they said they'd updated the software. Now it says service NOW!

Should I smell a rat?

is this for the first or second service?

was it warning you that you had a service coming in over 6000 miles ?, or did you check ?

is this for the first or second service?

must be at least second, 05 would be aprox 3 years old

This would be its second. I think I took it for it's first before it even started asking, actually.

did it ask at 6k this time ?

did it ask at 6k this time ?

Yep

is that normal ?, 6k seems alot of advance warning, especially when you only do about 5k a year

It doesn't sound right does it. In truth, the matter is open to debate here. The Mrs swears it was 6000, whereas I was ignoring it

LOL, i hope you get sorted, to be fair only 2 service in 3 years sounds about right, mine is looking at not even lasting a year !!, perhaps go back to the dealers and explain, see what they say, you may get a deal, or get it sorted
