    My Wife's Golf GTI Performance was bought new in March last year (UK). The oil service light came on in mid December.
    She called the garage, they told her to ignore it until the car was a year old, "just bring it in and we will reset the reminder for you".

    Can that be right?
    It pings every time i start it and stop it. Very annoying, but the dealer isn't handy to just drop in.

    I assumed as she uses it mainly for short journeys perhaps an oil quality sensor thought it needing changing early?
    Does anyone know?
    Should i trust the dealer call centre (obviously i don't).
    My other cars are 2 yearly oil changes.

    Thanks

    One year in and after initial engine wear Id take it in to get things refreshed and reset. If you are less concerned about Y1 use then there are instrument cluster pushes you can use to lie to system thar you have dome a service that will suppress warmings.

    The latest service intervals have all gone digital with no service book and the dash setup is painful
