Amber Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) I've had this up on the display in the lupo for weeks now, despite it having a full service about 3 weeks ago. If it doesn't display SERVICE INSP it displays 'service' and then miles. I've tried following the steps in the handbook to reset/turn off the warning but it doesn't seem to work. It resets the miles no problem! I've got no oil lights on or anything of the sort, everything's been checked over and all seems fine!I've used the search function to try and find out how to reset it but the couple of links that Tigz posted up have been broken or are out of date. Anyone got any ideas? Any help is appreciated Edited May 17, 2009 by Amber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 When you first start the car it should flash 'INSP' for a minute or so and then it will return to the trip mileage with 'service' in the display. They are not 'service miles' as such, it is just your normal trip mileage but it keeps 'service' lit up in the display to remind you to get a service .Following the handbook has always worked for me. It seems like you have to hold the button in for ages though to get it to reset. I would try again but hold the button for longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Brilliant. It's sorted. I held down the button a fair bit longer than 10 seconds and it's all cleared now thanks a lot for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its longer than 10 seconds, which is why I thought it didn't work before either that or I can't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
