TomsFocus Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I don't think all Mk3's had a service counter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding someone else with the same engine, year and spec to ask would be the best bet... I'd assume it either came in for all models later, or only for higher trim levels with the bigger dash screen, or only for higher engine specs, but I don't know which, if any, would be correct.

unofix Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I can't answer the question as to whether or not your car has a service indicator, but remember the reset procedure only works if the bonnet, and all doors are closed before you try and reset it.

ash29109 Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 Everything was closed, doors, bonnet, windows etc It's the titanium trim spec with satnav I can only presume my particular vehicle doesn't have it 😞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
