Golf Service Indicator - islandman
I've fairly recently bought a 94 L Reg Golf 1.4 for my daughter.
Can anyone advise me on the service indicators that appear on the milegage indicator, for a few seconds when you switch on the ignition.
It shows IN 01 which according to the handbook mean an 'inspection' is due. There are apparantly 2 other reports as follows: IN 02 which means that additional work is needed and IN OL meaning the oil needs changing.

The handbook doesn't state whether these indicators are just time/mileage based or if they are actually monitoring the condition of the oil etc. It tells you how to reset them, which seems a bit simplistic.

If anyone can enlighten me I'd be grateful.

A google found this:-

IN00- no service is required; this is the standard display
OEL- when 7500miles have been reached before the yearly service interval
IN01- indicates it is time for the yearly service including oil change
IN02- indicates it is time for the 15,000mile service with extra checks

It is just basic time/distance.
