Skoda Octavia A7 reminds its owners about maintenance deadlines by displaying messages on the on-board computer screen. However, intensive use of the car and difficult climatic conditions sometimes require more frequent replacement of consumables than is prescribed by the manufacturer, the VAG concern, in the regulations. As a result, fuel and lubricants are replaced, and the computer continues to persistently “peck” the car enthusiast with warning information. This irritates the driver and makes it difficult to fully concentrate on viewing the road situation.
In our material we will tell you how to reset the service interval on a Skoda Octavia A7 on your own, without resorting to the expensive services of service departments of official Skoda dealers. We will also consider the question: is it worth doing such a maintenance reset on the Octavia A7.
Skoda A7 Inspection Service Reset
Instructions for restoring service intervals on Skoda cars: Fabia, Rapid, Octavia, Yeti, Superb and Roomster with photo and video explanations.
Of course, every owner of a Skoda car has at least once encountered such a car function as a reminder of the inevitable maintenance. This warning looks different depending on the model and year of the car, sometimes it flashes and sometimes it sounds when you start the engine. But it has the same purpose - to remind you of the need to undergo a technical inspection of the car (changing engine oil, filters, etc.).
The reminder interval is 372 days or 15,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.
To shorten the service interval, you do not need to contact the service and pay money for a simple procedure. You can do everything yourself.
Consider resetting the technical interval for different Skoda models.
Note from iLoveSkoda.ru: We tried to describe in detail all the options for resetting metrics for each Skoda model, but due to the large number of configuration parameters, the described method will probably not work for you. In this case, read the instructions for other models. One of them is definitely suitable for your car.

So, you don’t need to keep track of when you need to go to a service center to undergo maintenance prescribed by the car manufacturer - your Octavia’s on-board computer successfully copes with this task.
Regardless of whether you are the owner of a car manufactured in 2012 (second generation) or you have a liftback of the latest generation (2014, 2016 and later years of manufacture), if you have driven 14,000 km since the last maintenance, when you turn on When the ignition is turned on, the image of a key will light up on the dashboard for 10 seconds. At the same time, the information display will display the number of kilometers and days remaining until the maintenance is completed.
After the fateful date arrives, the key symbol will light up for 20 seconds after turning on the ignition and at the same time the inscription Service now will appear! And it will not go out until you reset the Skoda Octavia A5 service.
If the car is under warranty, or you prefer to have it serviced by service technicians even after the warranty period has expired, you have nothing to worry about - they will reset all the necessary counters themselves.
But many car owners prefer to carry out maintenance themselves - this allows them to save a lot. Of course, such a solution will require you to reset the inspection interval between services yourself. And although the manufacturer recommends performing this operation only in authorized service centers, there is nothing complicated about it, so you can reset the service interval of the Skoda Octavia A5 in literally a few minutes, and you do not need any tools other than your hands.
How to remove service on a Skoda Octavia A5: let’s look at the question
In modern times, most cars undergo an annual technical inspection, which is carried out every 15,000 km. For Skoda Octavia A5 cars without an on-board computer, such messages are welcomed by an audio option in the cabin. At the same time, a wrench icon and the English inscription SERVICE appear on the display. The interval for the next technical inspection cannot be set manually, so this feature is the main drawback of the functionality of the Skoda interior.
You can avoid this situation in a very simple way - reset the service on the Octavia A5. The VAG system counter with the next maintenance can be reset manually. To do this, turn off the ignition. Press the TRIP button on the panel until the SERVIS light goes off. After that, turn on the ignition and turn to the right and left until 15,000 km appears. There is no need to do anything further; the counter will automatically go to zero when moving.
Adjustment of maintenance period
If you do not plan to have your car serviced by an official dealer, that is, you are not afraid to “fail” the warranty, and the inscription about the need for service annoys you, it will not be difficult to reset (reset) the “Service” inscription yourself.
On Octavia of the first (Tour), second (A5) and third (A7) generations, the operation is performed differently, although the differences are small.
The user manual will warn you that resetting the maintenance yourself is not advisable, since this will lead to a failure of the corresponding settings, and other disturbances in the functioning of the main vehicle systems are possible. This shouldn't scare us.
Let's look at the procedure for resetting the Octavia Tour service interval:
- press the right button (under the speedometer);
- without releasing it, turn on the ignition;
- wait until “Service” appears on the panel;
- release the right button, go to the left one and turn it clockwise at a small angle;
- the “Service” inscription disappears - we have completed our task.
On the Skoda Octavia A5, to reset the service interval, proceed as follows:
- with the ignition off, press the Trip button (which is intended for setting the clock);
- Without releasing the button, turn on the ignition;
- after a few seconds, release the button and turn it clockwise (or counterclockwise) until the numbers 15,000 appear on the information display instead of the inscription “Service”.
If you have a version with MaxiDot, which allows you to manipulate intervals at your discretion, resetting the service interval of the Skoda Octavia A5 is also performed through it: on the steering column paddle, hold down the “Up” button, a menu will appear, select the “AM Status” item. An inscription about the remaining mileage before the maintenance will appear, reset it to zero.
But this procedure does not always work. If your efforts are unsuccessful, do not be upset - you can do this using a cable (for example, VagCom).
- connect the cable, select the 17-Instruments mode, and then the Adaptation-10 mode;
- stop selecting the “time from inspection” item, set the time value to zero;
- a question will appear about confirming the reset operation, answer in the affirmative;
- a message will be displayed that the zeroing has been completed, you need to click on “OK” and we will get to the main menu;
- we proceed in the same way with zeroing the mileage (item “distance from inspection”);
- to reset the inscription urging you to immediately undergo maintenance, select the “Resetting ESI” item, then press the Reset button and confirm the operation;
- disconnect the cable and remove the key from the lock.

Conclusion
When a car is serviced at an official service center, the technicians themselves reset the service interval. If the replacement of consumables was not carried out by the officials, this operation must be performed independently. This operation is extremely simple, and the above methods are suitable for almost every Skoda model. If there are differences in the configuration, you can always look at the instructions for the car and clarify all unclear points.

List of necessary work related to technical maintenance
Skoda Octavia A5 and A7 cars, as well as RS versions, require technical care regulated by the manufacturer. All components of the car, as well as engines 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 tsi models, are subject to this maintenance.
The first maintenance interval is usually 15,000 km. With this mileage, the manufacturer regulates the replacement of engine oil and all filters, including air, oil and fuel. For Skoda Octavia Scout A5 and A7, as well as RS, this interval is also 15,000 km.
Skoda Octavia Tour A5, A7 RS have the same service regulations and work schedules.
- The oil and filters are changed at 15,000 km, no reset is provided.
- The brake pads are replaced at 60,000 km and are reset using computer equipment.
- Replacing the timing belt or chain is necessary at 90,000 kilometers.
- The brake fluid is changed once every two years.
- The engine coolant must be changed every three years of vehicle operation.
- On 1.8 engines, the fuel filter needs to be replaced every 30,000 kilometers; this is mandatory maintenance for RS engines.
- It is also necessary to undergo the service once a year, regardless of the distance traveled.
As a rule, resetting the service interval occurs by manipulating the buttons on the dashboard.
The Skoda Octavia A5, RS, Scout dealer resets the service on the dashboard using computer equipment. Do not deliberately reset the system parameters, this will negatively affect the warranty.
Carrying out maintenance and work
- Changing the oil on the Skoda Octavia Tour A5 occurs in standard mode. On 1.8 tsi engines, you need to remove the crankcase protection and drain the old oil, then change the oil filter. It is also necessary to replace the cabin and engine air filters, these are consumables.
- Brake pads are changed in accordance with the rules for repair and operation of Skoda Octavia Tour A5, A7, Scout. RS models are equipped with more powerful brakes, which affects their maintenance costs. These consumables need to be changed both from the front and from the back. The work can be done independently only from the front side of the car.
- Work on replacing the timing drive on Skoda Octavia Tour A5, A7 vehicles must be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s data list. RS versions have a shorter timing drive life, since this car is designed for increased loads. Spare parts should be purchased in the original version, otherwise there is a high chance of stumbling upon a fake. It is better to do timing belt maintenance work at a dealer.
- The brake fluid for the Skoda Octavia Tour A7, Scout must be changed every 2 years, regardless of mileage. This is because this liquid quickly absorbs moisture and becomes less effective. On RS versions, it is better to carry out maintenance of the brake system no later than after 2 years, since the brake system on this car is subject to increased loads. Resetting the indication during this replacement is not provided, and the work is performed only by dealers.
- Antifreeze for the Skoda Octavia Tour A7, Scout with a 1.8 tsi engine needs to be changed every three years of active use. Otherwise, defects may appear in the cooling system. TSI engines are very picky about coolant, since these units are equipped with a turbo system, which significantly increases the operating temperature of the engine. Maintenance of the refrigerant system is an important event that should not be forgotten.
- Skoda Octavia Tour A5, A7, Scout 1.8 tsi requires regular maintenance of the power system. The fuel filter on tsi engines needs to be changed quite often, this is due to the fact that this unit has high-performance fuel injectors, the thickness of the nozzles in which is several times smaller than that of a conventional engine. These spare parts cannot be repaired if they fail; this is especially important for owners of Skoda Octavia Tour A5, A7, Scout tsi.
- Consumables and spare parts need to be changed every year, since the Skoda Octavia Tour A5, A7, Scout appears to be a reliable car. Prices for consumables and spare parts for this car do not exceed the offers of competitors, and are often cheaper.
- Reset. To reset the service and remove it from the instrument panel, you need to press special keys.
