Remote app tells me service now due only 7 months old.
Hi ladies and gents
brought my 2 litre f type last September new.Opened the app this morning and it’s telling me service now due.My question is it’s nealy 7 months old and covered 1050 miles does it really need a service or just a oil change due to low mileage.Can anyone advise I booked it in with the dealer and awaiting a call back to discuss what maybe needed and how do I get the app changed.
thx Wayne

Someone or something is having a lend of you, no way is it anywhere near due for a service yet. AFAIK the F-Type service schedule has always been 12 months or 16,000 miles / 26,000 Km whichever comes first and the four potter is no different.
Unless it's really nearly 12 months old and it was sitting in the dealer's showroom or yard for 5 months before you got it and they used it as a demo from the get go, but you said you got it new so that seems unlikely.
I suspect the app is faulty.

I think it is irresponsible to wait for 1 year or 16K miles for your first oil change. Your first oil change is instrumental in determining engine longevity - initial oil fill contains contaminants from manufacturing process and isn't anywhere near 'clean' state normal oil fill would be.

Get them also to do oil and filter (you don't need to do full Service 1) since you had to take it in for service anyways. It is important to do first oil change early as factory-filled oil would have contaminants and residuals from engine break in.

Assuming it hasn't changed since '14, here's the procedure to reset the service indicator. Note when it says 'ignition on', that's ignition on, engine off.
