Service
« on: 07 May 2013, 05:28:23 PM »
Just collected my 9-3 Aero after having its 150000 mile service

Few shocks in store

Price £352.00 ouch
No 3 spark plug was just sitting there, covered in soot and never been tightened, good old Concept Saab in Brum that did the last service. Glad I don't use them.
Screw stuck in front tyre although its not losing air unlike rear tyre that drops to 11 psi in 2 weeks and no puncture detected :(
Steering lock on full causes the wheel to rub against the inner wheel arch trim, mechanic has a letter from Volvo stating that the new V70 has an aluminium plate fitted to the arches to stop the tyres wearing down the wheel arch trim ??? VERY STRANGE
Fuel filter was well and truly stuck !!! They got it off but had to partly dismantle the locating bracket thing and clean it out. Doesn't smell of fuel so far so fingers crossed.

Now the biggie

How do I reset the service interval and oil quality monitor. I've done it before but can't remember :((

There should be a reset option comes up on the sid service section but only if you are close to needing a service according to it. If not, think its tech II? Not had my 9-3 for a couple of years so going by memory.

Yes, you can reset the oil quality from SID. As said above, it is in one of the menus.

No reset found

I've set the date forward 2 years and did it that way
