My odometer reads: Service INSP...WTF is INSP?
I just noticed that the bottom part of my odometer reads Service INSP. It keeps blinking for about a minute after i start the car. I took it in for service at 30,000 and im only at 33,000 now. Can anyone help me or advise me?

It's like an "idiot light" - the ecu has a milage counter, which counts down. When it hits the mark,
it pops up the indicator on the display.
Ignore it until you can either get someone with vag-com to reset it or your dealer schedule.

I think this applies to the 1.8 too?
This is for my 2.8 (should be the same):
During road test: :
- Check kickdown, braking, steering, heating, ventilation, Air Conditioning, power accessories, and electrical systems.
After road test:
- Engine idle speed: check.
- Engine: check for leaks.

- Power steering: check fluid level.
- Exhaust system: check for damage or leaks.
- On Board Diagnostic system: check Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Memory with Scan Tool (ST) VAG 1551 and erase If necessary.
1) Severe conditions, such as extremely high temperatures, continuous mountain driving, trailer-towing, predominantly stop-and-go traffic conditions, it is necessary to change the ATF every 48,000 km (30,000 miles).
48,000 km (30,000 miles) and 96,000 km (60,000 miles)
- Engine: change oil and replace oil filter.

- Brake system, check for damage and leaks: check brake pad thickness; check brake fluid level.
- Brake fluid: replace every two years regardless of mileage.
- Front axle: check dust seals on ball joints and tie rod ends, check tie rods.
- Sunroof: clean and lubricate guide rails.
- On Board Diagnostic system: check Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Memory with Scan Tool (ST) VAG 1551 and erase if necessary.
