    hello peeps, If anyone will kindly advise me on what the hell is going on with my car
    I bought it at 54k and it had been serviced previously at 51&53k and Im at 57k now and was getting a message each time counting me down to service reading 6000 then it dropped to 5500 last week (i drive little)
    Started the car today and it says ''Service now!'' What....now......with no fault showing at all its just gone from service in 5500 to Now in 1 day....Help please!

    regards

    chris

    Hi Chris.Who serviced it before? They placed a service reminder through the diagnostic tool. "Now" does mean nothing.. You can stop that by pluging in a vag com
