Are most of you now on version 1941?

I'm still on 1899 but as my bongs have disappeared I'm quite happy not to 'upgrade'.  Just seems like a long time since others got the OTA update and I wonder how they decide who gets and when.

Seems completely random.

Are your privacy settings still allowing OTA updates through BillSan?
My Clubby took the change between 1894(?) and 1941 with no issues with bongs afterwards.

My ‘70 plate just out of warranty now requires another new steering wheel, the second in just over a year, they couldn’t replicate the fault last time it went in when under warranty but now can it seems.

After a whinge the offered to reduce the cost by 50% and offered free fitting and labour but it just leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

The software issues have been there from the start and as I suspected they are now passing those costs on to us once the warranty has expired. Shoddy way to do business

Surely the replaced wheel has its own warranty?

I'm still on 1899 and haven't seen an OTA update of any kind for a long time.

How can I check if my privacy settings still allow OTA updates?   I haven't changed anything (but, as we all know with VW software, that doesn't mean that no changes have taken place!)

Surely the replaced wheel has its own warranty?

Under VW’s new car factory warranty, items replaced during the warranty period are only warrantable up to the expiry date of the warranty. From the warranty T&C’s on VW’s website;

’Any part which is replaced becomes the property of Volkswagen. Any replaced parts are covered for the unexpired period of the vehicle warranty.’
