As a recent newcomer to VCDS ownership and having had my 'Service in xxx miles' on the DIS, I've been looking at my options for doing my own Oil service and SRI reset.
I have a 3.0TDI on 'Variable life' but with reduced mileage these days I'm considering coming off 'Variable Life' and going to 'Fixed' service.
These are the fields VCDS shows when I go to SRI Reset without making changes:
I've consequently had a peek at the label files and the implied reset values don't seem to match recommended service intervals!
This is [an edit of] the Label file for my cluster:
Without fully understanding these label file options, it would appear that channels 42/43 are set to 90/190 for variable life [that is, 9000/19000 miles] and set to 50/50 for fixed [that is 5000/5000 miles]. Which mismatches my service guide which says 15000km/10000miles for fixed service intervals!
Are these label file numbers actually wrong for fixed servicing or am I misunderstanding how these work?
Thanks - Julian
