The box below shows a [slightly edited for space reasons] display from the first stage of the SRI option on the VCDS front menu from my 2015 A8 in the UK. I use this to see what the service state is and then press 'Cancel', so I don't change anything.
1) Is the text listed under 'Channel' read straight from the ECU [that is, the ECU is coded in English] or is that information translated into English from German?
2) Is the text under 'Description' read from the ECU or is that a Ross Tech interpretation of the 'Channel' text?
3) Is the list of IDE*** variables shown in this display consistent across all markets or does it vary by market? [US doesn't use Extended Service, so do US A8 owners see the same ESI information in VCDS when they perform the 'SRI'?]
4) Is the distance information printed in km in all markets?
5) I guess "ESI" stands for Extended Service Interval, but what does "SIA" and "FIX" stand for?
Thanks - Julian
