Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew if you could change the digital service history after the fact? As the main dealer recorded my mileage at 35,000 miles instead of 15,000, at the last service and they didn't give me a print out at the time for me to question it.
Went to a different dealer this time, and they gave me a full service history and saw the old garage recorded it at 35,000.

Good luck, the service I had done last October still isn't on VW's system despite them promising to fix it. Hopefully you have a better dealership than I do.

Hopefully, it's quite a minor issue really but when you pay for a professional you expect it to be carried out correctly.

I’ve had 3 dealer services not show up on the system, when I equired they told me it “didn’t matter” I wasn’t happy, and still not put on

All the more reason to keep and file all invoices linked to services and work carried out in case you need to make a claim.
The first service on my car was carried out before I bought it but I asked for a print out to prove it had been done (the printout was very basic), it still isn't showing on the electronic service record!
A good idea but in practice I'd still like the back up of a traditional paper book.

Could you not just buy a VW service book from eBay for around £6/£7 pound and mark it up yourself and keep all relevant receipts with each of the pages..

you don't always get paperwork when you get a service.

My recent service was a goodwill complimentary service. I asked for a printout of work done which i was given.

And get the dealer to stamp the book with the dealership stamp at each service.

I ha an inkling this would happen, which is why when I got mine in 2017 I asked for a service book. Got the full package, user manual etc but it was for a MK7 not a MK7.5.
It'll probably get better in time !!!!!!!!!!

Yeah me to... my main thought was how would a non-VW dealer or just some bloke in autotrader ever be able to see my service history if VW had locked it away. I didn't imagine the dealerships would screw up the digital entry, but hey, I was wrong!

Anyone can login to erwin and see their digital service history, for a small fee you can add an entry yourself (though you have to pretend to be a business when you log in).
My car came with three stamps in the book - however only one of them was recorded digitally. I'm now wondering which one is telling the truth. With GDPR regulations, some dealers are removing all paperwork that identifies the previous owner - I don't think this is strictly necessary with GDPR but it seems most are taking this line. Guess its no risk to them. Oh well...
