Hello all,

Not the best when it comes to cars. I have done 29k miles in my 11 plate 2.0TDI. Service was had at around 20k miles. When do i need to start looking at the oil.....

Any information would be great.

Thanks

Jason

Can't comment on your engine but your service manual will give the interval for things like that

What does your MFD menu advise you? It will state in one of the menu detail options when it thinks the car needs servicing. Look on the MFD at "Service Interval" and select "Info". It will give a mileage and days to go. Which is ever the less is the valid one to follow.

If it was immediate, the warning display is flashed up on the MFD as the ignition is switched on. Mine has just come up as 4,800 miles 20 days, despite only doing 4,517 miles. Already booked in for a service in 18 days time. Mine is a on 12 months servicing, not Long LIfe.
