My B8 Passat is on fixed interval servicing which is advised as every 10,000 miles/12 months - looking at the service indicator section in the ‘car’ section of the menu it’s always given me two figures, one for the intermediate service (due next) and one for the full service - the mileage on the two has always differed by 10,700 miles (the intermediate service sooner, ie 5,300 miles when the full service is 16,000 miles).
I’ve not given it much thought but the service book show when it will be due a service, this aligns with my own assumption based on 10,000 and also a sticker inside the windscreen saying the same figure - this is in 1,600 miles time. Today I now have ‘service 900 miles’ in my display
Having owned another VAG car for 13 years I'm well aware this is calibrated to km and the interval it works on is 15,000km so my question is, do I ignore the car and pay attention to everything else?
Yes, I do need to book a service but we’ve a weekend up north in a couple of weeks so I imagine it will be 3 weeks or so and at least 1,200 miles by the time we get back.
