2011 Jetta Sportwagen TDI Service Reminder Malfunction?

same problem

I'm in the Boston area and have the same exact thing on my sportwagen tdi manual. build date 2/2011. I'm at 400 miles now. I'll wait to hear what you find out. Maybe someone forgot to do something at the port on ours?

Hello,

I'm the proud new owner of a 2011 Jetta Sportwagen TDI. In the Multi Function Display there is a Service Interval display with Miles and Days until service. Both have dashes rather than numbers. When I try to reset them as per the manual on page 20 nothing changes. Shouldn't this have started counting down the day I picked up the car with only 13 miles on it? I now have over 500 miles. I called the dealer and they just repeated what the manual said. Does anyone else have this problem or any suggestions?

Thanks,

Marc

yup, my 2011 tiguan looks like the picture on the left, the 2011 sportwagen like the one on the right. i don't buy the it will go away after a few miles (i was told that too). i figure it won't go away until my first oil change when they reset it with the vag-com! but if i can get it to normal sooner, that would be good too.

I did not buy the car from Boston VW in Watertown, but that is the dealer that received mine from the port in Rhode Island You can tell from the Window sticker. I know you said you bought from Quirk Braintree, but was yours by any chance originally another dealer's from the window sticker?

my problem just did go away on it's own, believe it or not.. after 400 or 500 miles since i last pressed the reset. the original poster should get the same results.
