Hello,
Received the recall letter 14/04/22 from VW UK reference the issues with the Engine Cover.
Took my MK8 2020 GTI into my local VW dealer {Beadles Colchester} on the 16/04/22 to book an appointment whereby the Service Manager informed me that it can be done straight away as it only takes minutes {impressed with that as had expected a wait}.
He was correct on that because approx. 10 minutes later car returned. The dealer had no information from VW UK about any replacement part.
I also raised the issue about any Infotainment update news. No update on that. My GTI currently runs H56 Hardware with the 1668 Software installed.
Seems that VW UK/AG are installing a better version on newer models, if they ever appear.
So left with a pretty sad looking engine bay and the odd peculiarities of VW software!
Keep smiling.
I guess they just removed the cover? Is it any noisier?
I'm building up a list of issues now its booked in. Had the SOS fault on long drive to Scotland and back. Kept making a crunching sound and SOS message came up, then finally it said to book into workshop.
Also having intermittent issues with phones. Not picking up my wife's phone, then not able to hear the person speaking from the car. Rear USB-Cs seem to not work at times to charge devices.
Need to drop them a note so they don't plead ignorance when it goes in.
