- Anyone know how to stop the milometer reminding me i need a service - its come on at the 30k mark, but i've already had the 3rd service......its Annoying!

p.s just ran with first tank of Optimax - YEP definatley feels different, makes me thrash it everywhere though - not sure if thats a good thing?

cheers

This might help I had my car serviced by VW so they did that bit for me.

lol we should all be on Optimax its the business. I'm on BP Ultimate atm mind you, same stuff, different name it seems!

Carnt remember how to reset it off top of my head but it tells you in your manual thats how i found out, its dead easy to do.

Cheers geezers...will try these out once i've used up my optimax - want to see how much i get on a full tank!!......not looking good though!

I got 280 from a full tank of Optimax. Mixed driving, mostly urban, 30s an 40s, for the last half-a-tankful. Good luck!

To clear your service reminder on your instrument panel.

-Place key in the ignition barrel.
-Push and hold the mileage reset button.
-At the same the time turn the key in the ignition barrel on and off 5 time approx, while still holding in the reset button.
-wait for about 5 seconds and the services reminder will be removed without reseting your current mileage
-IMPORTANT you must be holding in reset button for the sequence.

Or if your local Main Dealer is nice enough, they will hopefully remove the reminder free of charge, and show you how to do it next time as well.

Hope this is some help?
