This is not an auto-scan in code tags...............

Have you tried the drop down menus?

hi jack. thanks for the reply.
I tried the drop down menu but with a lot of options in there I was unsure on the correct one to choose

quinya3: hello. Jack's advice is correct.

My mk7 shares the same build platform as your daughter's A3 8V - both are MQB with UDS. Whilst my mk7 also has flexible service capability(ESI), for some unknown reason (probably related to giving more revenue for the dealers), it uses fixed service (FIX). Here are the relevant adaptation channels for ESI/FSI in the instrument control module - address 17:

My understanding is that the crucial setting is the oil quality channel. If this is set for "poor oil quality" and the car has ESI capabilities (see Engine Byte/Bit below and the PR code QGI), then FIX service results.

hi DV52, thanks for the reply.
i will try to look at the car again today, its not here right now.
from the screenshot does the "FIX: Maximum time until next time-dependent inspection 365d" refer to the oil change service
