I drive a VW Caddy for business and when I picked it up in Jan 11, the dealer told me the service interval "special algorithm" has an additional factor to those described by Lotus; a contact switch on the bonnet (hood (imperial)) records how many times you open to inspect. Therefore, if you dont open the bonnet, the algorithm assmes you have not checked the fluid levels and will deduct an unknown number of miles before the next service indication is announced by the CBS indicator. The van is used for highway travel and is on target 'to max out' the longest service interval permitted at 30,000km. I pop the bonnet every couple of weeks but don't check the levels as often. I have seen the contact in the bonnect catch, I know the F25 has an electronic oil level gauge but does it have the bonnet catch contact as well?
