OK, can you guys please help me here...
I had an AVS service on my imported 2002.5 s3 a couple of weeks ago.
When I left the dealership, I was told that the service counter would read zero, then after 500 miles, it would have calibrated to the next service interval.
anyway, I got in the car, and being the enquisitive ******, I pressed the service check button. Interestingly, it read 9300 Miles.
After about a week, I decided to phone the dealer back, who asked me to drop the car back in to them.
After the car had been checked for 20 mins, the car was returned to me. It was explained that the service reigime was set OK, and that apparently on S3's, they display a "mid" value initially and then re-calibrate after 500 miles.
a week later.
The service indicater is now showing 7100 miles till it's next service. Now, this makes me more than a little worried. In my experience, the average milage from an AVS service is about twice this - and i'd be MUCH better off on standard interval servicing (for more than just this reason i know)..
what sort of service interval are you petrol AVS'd people getting please, because after my inital conversation with the dealer (who thought that it was acceptable), it sounds like I may have to argue my corner on this one.
As always, any help much appreciated.
