Getting a bit worried about when my Scirocco next needs a service. If I hold the trip button it is telling me that the next service is due in 5900 miles or 258 days. I have only had it a few months and it has now done 42745 miles and the last service was done at 30068 miles on 07/03/12. So that will be approx. 18.5k between services or two years, is that right for longlife?
Don't want to spend money unnecessarily but would you guys be considering getting a service done before its due? It will take me the 258 days to do 5900 miles as don't go far.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Re: longlife servicing
That's correct the maximum duration is 18,600 miles (30,000km) or 24 months for longlife servicing. It is reduced though if you drive the car hard or do a lot of short journeys.
My preference is for Time & Distance regime with services every 9,300 miles (15,000km) or 12 months.
