Where is it and why is it missing??????? any ideas I believe all TDIs have them but on older models, i.e. yours!, they had to be reset through diagnostics (as opposed to pressing the trip reset button on the newer models). Is it possible that someone could have disabled the service indicator completely in your ECU? Quote
Dave-G Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 Have you been getting it serviced before it's due - and the nice mechanic resets it for you? Quote

Is it possible that someone could have disabled the service indicator completely in your ECU? good thinking, maybe. I do all my own servicing.When i first got the damn thing, my misus insisted it was checked by a dealer, such was the state it was in.Big mistake! never again will i go to a main dealer for service. Which is why i am wondering where the service indicator is, i've never seen it. Quote
seatkid Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 Maybe the dealer forgot to refit it along with the undertray! :D Quote
oafcowl Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 I've had my galaxy for 5 years and mine has never come on either! Quote
Bigjeeze Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 I don't have one on my 97 TDI which I have had since new - I do have one on my 2001 TDI - Maybe it's just not fitted to all models or model years. Quote
seatkid Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 I've had my galaxy for 5 years and mine has never come on either! Does that mean you have'nt had your car serviced in 5 years? :rolleyes: Quote
