Vauxhall Astra

[Plain Bob]

have an astra, 1.6 SXI, registered in 2004. It was serviced, and the service book stamped accordingly, prior to purchase in February this year, at a mileage of 27500, it is currently 28800. The display on the dashboard states that a service is due, the service intervals are yearly or every 20000 miles. Can you advise how message on the dashboard can be changed to indicate that a service is not due at present?
Have received an answer in that there is a combination of buttons to press. You just have to find out the combination. But how and where to look?

If the place that did the service is local then take it back. As part of my service for my car it is stipulated that the service indicator should be reset. They should do it for free. If it's a Vauxhall dealer - then showing them the details as above - they should do for you free of charge.

I have a year 2000 Astra Club 1.6. Despite having my car serviced, the mechanic hadn't switched off the 'service due' indicator. I had to phone the dealer and ask them how to do it. It's a while since I did it but I think it was...

step 1: with ignition off, hold down the button that zeros your trip meter.

step 2: put the key in the ignition and turn on the ignition (not the engine) while holding down said button.

step 3: the message should have dissapeared and the trip meter show zero. Release the button.

It's worth a try so hope this helps
