Just to confirm it in case anyone else is wondering: I've looked in the
factory manuals (from erwin) which I already had, and if the car is set
up for variable servicing, and you reset the indicator from the panel,
rather than using VAG-COM or a 1551/2, the car reverts to 10K file
fixed intervals. Looks like I didn't need to buy SLX Longlife II after
all.......

So every oil change = a trip to the dealer for the reset, if you want to
stick with variable intervals? This sucks.

I'll be getting vag-com soon. For now I'll suffer 10K intervals.
