Hi all,
my 1.4 TDI had its fourth variable/long-life service at about 102k miles in March this year, and I think the mechanic might have put in the wrong oil.
I've had the car from new, 8 years ago this March, and I've only needed these services carried out at two year intervals. I do about 12500 miles per year, and I don't use the loud pedal much, so the service indicator usually gets up to 30k a short while after each service and gradually creeps down from there. Normally I have about 8k left after the 2 years. Not this time. It got up to about 29k and now, about 3500 miles later, it's down at 22k.
I've not turned into a boy racer, so what's up? Could they have reset the service indicator incorrectly, put in the wrong oil, or is there something else I haven't thought of?
Thanks for your help,
Dev
