Service Now - What does it mean?
I posted this in the GT3 section, but there seems to be little traffic there so this is a repost...
2007 GT3 - there are no codes in Durametric, but when starting the car, there is a message appearing that says "Service Now". It goes away within a few seconds but it's there every time I start the car. What does it mean and how can it be cleared?

Service now Service indicator
Have your vehicle serviced at an authorized
Porsche dealerDealer can clear it or IIRC the Durametric tool can clear it too.

All the service manual says is: "take it to the dealer". That is UNSAT. Someone responded in another thread said that it is a service reminder because of a set time limit or distance reached.
I was able to reset the service interval using the Durametric. (It's under the instrument panel commands.)
I was hoping I was missing something about the nature of the service required - I thought there might be a menu item to display what particular item had reached its interval. Apparently the system is not that sophisticated - bummer!

I'm thinking it was based on time rather than mileage because there is less than 10,000 km on the car. Not much point in having a reminder if it's not going to tell you what it's for. I have reset it and I guess we'll see when it comes back again.
