CALICO 130 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 its due for a service has a similar thing on the VR6 Link to post Share on other sites
hvr6 88 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 there is a service indicator but it doesn't say 'SERVICE NOW' if you service yourself it needs to be rest thru vagcom :-) Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Don't need VAG-COM to reset service indicator. If the car is for sale and requires a service you need to ask yourself if it has been looked after properly or if there have been things skipped to save money. If you service yourself and use OEM parts from TPS it is surprisingly affordable. Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Depends on what you have been driving before. I felt it was too soft and so polybushed and uprated suspension. The gearchange is long and so I fitted shorter throws (with lots of help from Paul) and they aren't quick as standard but should still pull strong and smooth with the dual runner noticeable...
