try the fuse they may be on the same circuit. it is to the right of the steering wheel. you have to pull the cover off and the card inside will tell you whats what.

vwdan as i read it you may never need the oil service done if you drive less than 10k in a year. the inspection service incorporates the oil service elements. so there would be no point in having the oil service done in say month 11 and then the inspection service done at month 12. unless you were d...

unfortunately the computer isnt that clever :) . you need to check your service intervals manual (it is the one with the spanner on the front). i read it as the tdi requires an inspection service every 12 months. in addition to this if you drive 10k in less than a year then the oil service also need...

if like me your car doesn't do 10k miles are year, but I do get it serviced once a year then the oil service will come on at 10k intervals. which may be only a short time after you actually had the service.

I found that vw technicians really struggle with reseting the service indicators.

i have a tdi and the oil service indicator which comes on where your trip mileage is is not connected to the oil level. that is just to remind you to have the service done. i dont generally top it up over the year i normally add about 1 litre between service. my car has done 52k on a y plate. so as ...

thats what i read i found the rubber grommets when you lift the boot lid. underneath are two plastic things with grooves in them but (and this is where i wondered if i was going wrong) they seem to be too far away from the led unit. i will have another go and be a bit rougher. if i dont have any luc...

can any one do me a real favour?. just look at the text in the manual and see how you think i should be taking this off. or tell me how you got yours off. i just want to eliminate the fact that i might be reading this wrong as it just doesnt want to come off. my other option is to buy the light unit...
