V50 General : - "Book time for service" message coming on early

bwfs2003 · Jun 2nd, 2017, 19:04

Hi Guys,

My car is a V50 D3 2011. I had it serviced last December, paid extra for the correct grade oil. Now, after only 5 months and 5000 miles, this message is coming on every time I start up. The oil level in the sump is correct, according to the electronic dipstick. No faults on the ECU.

Any ideas?

Has the car been left "on" for a long period of time? That also contributes towards the countdown of the service message IIRC.

I take it the message was coming up in December when you serviced it? If not then it is working from when it was last reset...

If it was and it was properly reset at that service, then sorry, no idea!

Now showing " Time for regular service"

Service interval can be set in VIDA... 5000 miles is one of the possible settings

The previous owner (Met Police) seemed to have had it serviced about every 12500 miles.

I guess the previous garage did not know how to reset the service reminder at the service .. Book time for service comes on one month before it thinks it is due , gives you time to sort out a booking ...
It is not a problem as it goes out after a minute . you can live with it until the next service , or pay to have it reset but it will not be accurate for the next service of course .
