Service reset changed my MPG?

[Rib Roch]

Hi guys, new to this great site, already saved me a fortune... I've got a meg 1.6VVT Dynamic 02plate and Scenic 1.9DCI Dynamic 04 plate, owned them both over a year now and love them.

My 1.6 has had a few 'usual' problems - Engine Start problems, Air bag light on, oil change light on - which brings me to my new problem.

Had an engine flush 2 months ago to fix the starting issue I had, then the other day my change oil indicator came up - knowing this didn't need doing I searched the net and found you guys - so reset the indicator. Now since doing so my MPG has gone from 35mpg before the reset to 39.9mpg (computer readings) - do you thing Renualt have some clever software that following a service (or indicator reset!!) proves you needed the service because now your mpg's better!

Cheers

Hi Rob - great name by the way!

Welcome to the club - looks like you have already found it useful, hope you continue to do so.

As for your service light resetting, this also clears all your trip computer settings and in my experience it always seems to give you better mpg to start with, I notice yours is quite a big difference, can only be good!

BTW - thanks for your reply on my topic "Steering not locked".

Rob (good name!!!!!!!)
