    Hello Dougie and Other esteemed members of this fine forum ?

    Your Tiguan will indeed be due its 1st Oil Service, if you give your dealer a call they’ll get you booked in no bother ??

    My service indicator first reared it’s ugly head 1 year after collecting it during one of the 1st lockdowns, ( I turned it off using OBD11 )

    When things calmed down a bit I got it booked in to Arnold Clark about 4 months later who said it would only take a couple of hours

    Couple of days later they called to say there would be  a control module that would need replaced under a recall ( possibly some other minor recall ) and they would check the rear spoiler as there has been some issues with cars built around the time of mines , so it would be in for a couple of days

    Arnold Clark being Arnold Clark only have small courtesy cars like VW Polo and no Automatics!  – Called Motability and got a hire car booked for a week which was delivered to the dealers the night before my appointment

    Think it was a Nissan Quasimodo ( no idea how to spell the correct car )

    Car was in for 2/3 days and the recalls were addressed along with the first year Oil Service

    I’ve got a friend who has the same car, when she got her Service Indicator Notification she asked me to turn it off and she has not intention of getting it done ( non scheme and typical woman ( doesn’t listen to reason ) )

    So if you want it done , just give them a call as they definitely won’t be chasing you for it lol
