Title: ECU fault
Post by: MattyGTI8.5 on 22 December 2025, 22:35

Had this pop up yesterday, ’drive system error, please visit workshop’ car drove fine but couldn’t change drive modes etc. Managed to clear it after a short drive, but booked into VW as a precaution. Anyone had anything similar? Also noticed in the app, an error showing up saying ’engine control unit, please visit workshop’

If it cleared after a reboot then it's probably transient. Lots of transient errors on these cars
