Yeah that's the way they said to do it

Hey Ian,
After your service, did you extract another file just in case they updated the software or did you just reload your prev stg 1 ?

Is there an ECU counter?

Yeah, it was a first full service for 10,000 kms. They didn't notice anything except the akra

What really annoyed me though is they didn't change the oil! Just topped it up. They said car is not due for an oil change until 2014. Took it straight to Advan for an oil change and its running perfect

Do you mean the 12 month mandatory vehicle inspection?

If it was, its only for fluids top up and vehicle check, not oil service mate..

No it actually came up on the screen "oil service required" and "service overdue". The service guy was confused as well. Still peeved they only topped it.
