Service Interval

[lucasvdb]

Hi All

I recently acquired a Audi A6 SE TDI 130 Multitronic.

So far so good, it had all the right history stamped in the Service Logbook, and bills to prove that. The last one was done at about 83000 miles

When I got the car at 87500 miles, the distance to next service was shown as 9300 miles, which was about what I expected.

However, after only a further 1000 miles, it shows 1600 miles and is rapidly decreasing.

Admittedly I have been in some bad traffic jams, however could that have such a "bad" influence?

I'm used to BMW and Citroen which decreased by 50 miles every time the ingnition was switched on.

Do you have any advice? Should I be worried?

Regards,
Lucas

Hi there it is a progressive service interval the harder you drive the car the quicker it goes down. Hope this helps.

I don't think I've been over 85 real miles which is 90 on the clock.

Last week wednesday night with torrential rain and a storm blowing from the left the counter went down 200 miles for a 40 miles trip!

I had it serviced anyway last friday and the counter is back at 9300 again.

I'll keep an eye on it!
