When the time for the next maintenance is due, the Service-indication appears for 1 minute instead of the daily kilometer counter after the ignition is switched on and the engine is started for 1 minute. The message appears 1000 km or 10 days before the upcoming maintenance.
One of the following designations of the required type of maintenance is displayed on the Service indicator:
- oil change service - service OEL;
- service control - service INSP.
Approximately one minute after the engine is started, the indication for maintenance required disappears.
The scope of work performed during maintenance is different and quite large. After the service control INSP has been carried out, it is necessary to separately call the service indicator OEL preceding it and set it to the initial (zero) position.
After carrying out maintenance, it is necessary to set the service-indicator to its original (zero) position.
As a rule, when calculating service cycles, the Service-indicator uses the operating time and mileage of the vehicle since the last reset. Additional factors are not taken into account.
Attention. The AUDI service company, using a special device VAG 1551, additionally checks with each service the fault memory of electronic devices that control the engine, ABS, airbags and anti-theft device. Therefore, it makes sense to visit an AUDI workshop, even if the service is carried out in-house. The fault memory is polled during diagnostics: in this case, at the request of the customer, you can set the service indicator to the initial position between maintenance.
