Ring the dealer that did the service. Its most likely it didnt reset properly, or it could be the car is duie its brake fluid change, and its telling you that.

The very new Audi's I work on the days dont reset when you do the service because they are counting down to the brake fluid change.

I think you know the answer to that!

Surely there's something wrong though - it wouldn't run to 25,500 miles between services, would it?

And if it was on fixed interval servicing, then it's every 12mths, not 2years.

Fixed is every year, not every two year.

If it was 12 months, and not 14 months, I would have said, they have probably set it to fixed. BUt as its gone over 12 months, It sound to me like either they didnt reset it properly or it flaging the numbner of days until the next visit, and that visit is for brake fluid rather than another full service.

A quick call to the service department, with the dates and the mileage, as you have described here, should sort it all out.

Ah - I see. If it only does 3K miles in 14mths have you considered using taxis instead!

Are you sure the fixed interval would be 2 years? Daughter has a SEAT Ibiza and that's on 10K miles / 12mth intervals. It tends to do about 8K/yr but even so the service indicator (spanner symbol) pops up every year at some random point - I just reset it, instructions are in the handbook.
