Hey,
Im due for service, im at 106k miles at the moment and i dont see my service indicator on my dash, does that mean it has been done by the previous owner? I got the car at 60k and i have no way in contacting with the other party. Is there any way of knowing it been changed?
thanks

 

There is no 105K service-- the TL relies on the Maintenance Minder, which uses an algorithm based on the car's usage/operating patterns to determine when service codes should show.
If you drive only in the city, the codes are supposed to pop up at a different point than if the car was driven on freeways only, etc.

The timing belt service code (A4 or B4) may show up anywhere between 95K and 130K depending on the car, so it's fine to just wait for the code to show before doing the service.

Welcome to AZ.

 

110,000 here and no reminder yet. I have the parts ready to go for when it pops up. The first 70k were 90% or more freeway. The engine will have 500%+ fewer revolutions from freeway driving vs city driving. Total revolutions, time, climate, and high rpm (not high load) affect the maintenance schedule.

 

O ok I thoughtt it would just pop up at 105 but I guess not. Now I can save and do it when it pops up thanks

 

mine came on at 103k... been driving around for 2k with it popping up everytime I start it up... lemme tell u how annoying this is. I get it all done early October with the supercharger goes in

 

Mine didn't come on at 105k either so I just went ahead and did it at 106k since I had time, patience, and money.

 

I say don't wait more if you live around NJ
