Greetings everyone,

I have a Citroen C3 Pluriel 05 with a 1.4 HDI engine. i noticed something peculiar with the service interval indicator and cant figure it out.

I remember servicing the car last year when the odometer read 101k odd miles and thought that the next service would be due after 12K miles. However the odometer now reads about 106K odd miles and the service indicator (spanner) flashes saying service due in another 150miles. Anyway, I had the service done again yesterday and the service indicator reset to 12K miles. However today after I drove to work which is about 6miles, the service odometer reads 11950. Which is a decrease of 50 miles over less than six miles of actual driving.

Is this a know issue and does anyone know of a fix?

Thanks for your help.

Was the service indicator reset at 101K miles?

Have you had any other services done before the 2 you mention and used the service indicator? I would be interesting to know if the is an old fault or just recently appeared.

Can you log into the BSI with a lexia clone tool and look for the service mileage and see what has been set in there?

Can I get the same data using an OBD2 bluetooth adapter and Torque app?
