It appears that your car is on fixed interval servicing.  What does your 
handbook tell you about servicing options, and about the display?

I'm not sure that all Audi models were provided with variable servicing 
at the same time.  I can confirm that the A3 (8L) I bought in 1999 only 
had fixed intervals, and that the A3 (8P) models I bought in 2004 and 
2005 had variable servicing.  I can't speak for other models or years. 
It is also conceivable that Audi used different servicing regimes at 
other times in different countries, and I am only speaking for UK 
models.  The definitive answer can only come from the Audi HQ in your 
own country.
