Hi members, I have a question for you: I changed the brake liquid in June and I don't know why the cluster says "SERVICE".
How to reset it?
Secret men??
Pls, don't tell me I have to go to the stealership!
Thanks, bye!

Funny you mention this....I just got my fluid flushed as a part of normal maintenance schedule....I get it hom and check idrive and it still shows my car needed the service! Unfortuantely, I did have to go back to the dealer and get it reset by a tech :thumbsdown: On the bright side, it took less then 5 min. I will forever check my idrive from now on before leaving. Ugh...

I think was a message by nicke60gre.
Anyone knows?

Hah-haa
Old talk.The brake fluids need to be changed every 2 - 3 years.
The brakes are no joke, so I still say, do it at the dealers
when the pads and the sensors (and discs) are to be changed.

Ric, it was done by the dealer, but I think they forgot to reset.

how much do dealership normally charge for brake fluid change if you're out of warranty?
You don't need the stealer to change it... I bet there is a DIY in the DIY forum.
