Just one last query I forgot to add earlier:

What VCDS SRI options do you perform? [Set and oil change as 'longlife'; set as 'longlife' but oil change and SRI after 12 months/10000 miles; set and oil change as 'fixed' 12 months/10000 miles]?

[I see that these 'unbranded' oils claim to be for 'Longlife' service and have low SAPS contents for DPF equipped Diesels [like mine]].

Regards - Julian
The only slight problem is you need an extension from the D3's battery in the boot or use a separate battery to power the oil pump (like I do).

I didn't alter any service reminders with VCDS.
