In my opinion, if you show up at the dealer’s with 20k miles on the service clock it may seem like you missed a service, which may be worse than showing up with 10k and say you did the last one somewhere else (you are allowed to use any certified shop). If this is an interim oil change (like an early post run-in change, or a 5k miles change) an it won’t exceed 10-12k miles from the previous one they did (or from new) until you reach the dealership, then you may leave it as it is. Either way, 90% they won’t even notice and just do the service they were asked to do, and reset the clock. Yeh It’s an early post run in change, I’ve got around 7500km on it, whatever that is in miles? I’m just going to leave it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably best You’ll probably be at the dealer before 1yr or 15k km So you shouldn’t change anything Aaron7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS100 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 20 hours ago, Aaron7 said: Just a question? I’m doing an oil change this weekend, do I reset the ‘oil service reminder’ as well? Because the next service the dealer will do it and they’ll see I’ve done an oil change myself, is that a good thing or bad thing in terms of warranty issues? I've just done an oil and filter change at 8,000mls. myself despite paying for a service plan. I have not reset my 'oil service reminder' this will be done by the dealer when I take up my first sevice in about 8K miles from now. My reasoning is that I don't like the thought of a brand new car doing 16,000mls. before it's first service, (flexible service schedule) and I did not want to waste one of my paid for services on something which I can do easily myself.

Rossdh91 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Just watch a video of the new 8.5 GTI ED50. Looks rather nice. Noticed that at around the 9 minute mark whilst they are going through the interior, they have the speed limit chime on/off as a hotkey. I can’t seem to find a way to do this on my 8.5R. I can hotkey the entire assist menu but not individual options. Also noticed the red pulsing start button. Mine just stays solid white when pressed. Take it that’s a GTI feature? I also want/need that alcantara steering wheel 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burble Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Is there a way of ending an active phone call from the steering wheel? I'm using an iPhone connected to wireless CarPlay. I can answer it fine but the only way I can see the end the call is to use the infotainment screen and even then it's a couple of taps. Am I missing something?

It’s not an option in the list of things available to hot key in mine, as you say just the Assist menu but not specific items from the Assist menu.

I did notice some software differences on my dad’s new 8.5R compared to mine. I’ll maybe have a look at his later on. Is the pulsing red start/stop button a new addition too?

I'll give it a try though next time I'm out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
