The 156 computer is nowhere near as clever as that.

It's based on 20,000km, converted to 12427 miles.

Note sure if the 147 based cars, like the GT, are different, though.

(My Passat TDI had variable service lengths - I once got it down to
around 6k miles, but I'd also seen it hit as much as 24k miles between
services, which is a tad scary)
