<p style=”text-align: left;”>I’ve just had an ‘oil service in 600 miles’ indication come up.</p>
this will be my first service and my first encounter with VW other than the main dealer. So do the service department contact me, or do I contact them?

I would contact them, Dougie.

You definitely need to contact them.

Not sure of the age of your Tiguan but mine had its first oil change and service at 2 years old. As this was stated by Motabiliity.

VW ID.3 Tour 77 kWh Pro S 204PS Manganese Grey
On order Skoda Enyaq 85X Sportline Plus

If you have had it less than 2 years or 20k miles, they will just remove the notification

[Dougie B]

It’s 18 months old.

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

Welcome back Winston! How have you been getting on with your Tiggy?

[Winston]

Thanks @pudsey

Yeah the car is going fine thanks mate, no drama or issues, great size car that caters for all my needs and very easy on the eye ( for me )

2 years old next week and only did just over 9k due to all the Covid stuff

What car have you got?

it’s fab weather up here this week so I’m planning on going a few wee drives with the dog

roads to the highlands etc are pretty busy though with all the Invaders sorry I mean tourists up from England ?? oh and the tik tok brigade who now seem to drive a few hours to visit a beauty spot, leave their rubbish and make a 1 min video or 2 ??

Didn’t Edinburgh Woollen Mills open their shops all over England so we wouldn’t have to bother travelling?

I’ve got a BMW 220i active tourer auto, mineral white. Had it for 11 months now and thanks to COVID have only done 7000 miles. Love it, and will probably look to extend at end of three years.
