Mk8 software version poll

[Verve34]

The 'big' update package is apparently due imminently, according to some reputable sources, but until it is definitely released, who knows.

TPI is a list of specific repair and warranty instructions for dealers to follow - they basically set out a technical issue, the symptoms, how to resolve or to hold off a customer complaint, and (importantly for a dealer), how to account & charge VW back for the time/labour/parts, etc

For example,

Thanks phope
I hope it come soon or I’ll be selling and going for another brand

All I can say is that our Dec 2020 build Tiguan has had its fix applied for MIB3 back in September and similar issues as Golf 8 are experiencing, and it's not had any issues since

For what its worth, my July-built CS is running version 1804 and I've had pretty much none of the various problems discussed in this thread (so far, touch wood). My only complaint is that its a bit laggy on initial startup sometimes.

So it seems to me that later versions definitely are more stable and hopefully the fixes/patches will resolve it for the older versions.

I really hope so Joe, I love my clubby but the software issues drive me nuts , to be fair I thought I fixed some with a hard reset but just yesterday it spat the dummy out the pram …!

It will only be something minor.... the secondary OTA update channel on the Mk8 is disabled - unlike on the ID3

Too slow and laggy... Needs more processing power it seems...

Assuming that story is true, this must be the sixth hardware version already..

[BillSan]

Reading the linked article it appears that older cars will just get new software but newly built cars will additionally start, or have already started, to get new hardware.   

In older cars I suspect that new software alone may reduce faults but is unlikely to improve system speed/responsiveness.

I'm no expert but hopefully other forum members may have views or know more.

If I'm right the newer cars would be better and more valuable to those in the know.
