The car was delivered in April 2021 with 1788 then in July 2021 it was updated to 1803 which was actually worst and now this 1890 which seems to be better so far for one day.
VW also give me a total of €1000 because I requested for sale price reduction or a new car due to the issues in September 2021.

Thanks.

I am looking forward to getting mine fixed - like you I find the speed limit warning very unreliable and cause for concern.

I must get round to sending a sh1tty email to VW and asking for compensation.

I emailed VWUk last year when I was having problems and had a phone call back from them but nothing offered apart from profuse apologies. I did ask for an extended warranty when this one runs out, said that was the least they could do.
Hope they have t forgotten about the 16xx models I only got mine in May 21 but have had 2 software upgrades since. Variable success, one day it works, next day not!
My son in law got his R in October after a protracted wait. It’s on 18xx but my grandson said the other day when mine was ‘bong bong’ front assist not working etc “my daddy’s car does that too”.

So updated to 1890. Not had chance to mess about with it much but already seems more responsive. The ‘unlock when approach’ is meant to be sorted and the technician said it never did it once whilst he was working on the car. When I collected it they asked me to show them the settings which shows it turned off. Got it home, locked the car, went back out about 2 mins later and it unlocked itself as walked passed it to the bin!

They also told me after the update it has done two over the air updates. One is for the ambient lighting. Can’t say I have noticed anything different unless someone wants to tell me otherwise.

Glad you got it done!

I would be surprised if it fixed everything.... call me glass half full and all that

thank you for this information I took it to my auto dealer in Germany who keep insisting there is no new software for my car and I now have the 1890 since yesterday.
the settings are no Longer resetting to default and my assistant functions for speed warning is working so far.
Even automatic heated seats and steering works as supposed
Thanks

Just remembered, I logged into Erwin last week to look at something to do with my Tiguan

There is no update showing yet for Golf 8 with 16** software versions

I had this pop up yesterday has anyone had it on theirs …?  Something else popped up before but flashed up quickly so couldn’t take pic 😩

Car dropped off to dealers for faults and the 1890 software update. I told the service manager I wouldn’t accept the car back unless it was updated to 1890 ( it’s on 1803 at the mo). He said there is no such update, showed him the latest photos from this thread and the look on his face was priceless! The power of this forum…I will see the result at some point tomorrow.
