hi everyone I've had the e f update to get rid of the Tavel assist warnings and other ones to .only had the car back a day and they've all came back and the air bag error , wtf do I do now
-
Your's is a mk8 right?
The 5f update was a bit of a red herring. The steering wheel replacement is the critical bit and the bloody dealers know this only too well by now.

Thanks I’m already on my 3 steering wheel Vw need to sharpen there pencil seriously thinking of ditching the car , dealers are fobbing me off , could I need a new head unit or ecu
-
Morning spoke to the dealership this morning and they have said that it now needs a PD4 update to resolve the issues , well we will se in February lol any one else had this update thanks again 😔
-
It's weird they'd not know how to deal with this. Sure back in 2021 vw didn't have solutions but they definitely fixed it for most people over the next couple of years. Yes that's pathetic but...
The thought all of the fixes were well documented in the fault guide now.

FYI, it’s PV4. I had this update done to my 8.5 a few months ago, not sure that it really did anything as there wasn’t really anything wrong with the car, in my case i think it was actually the dealership scamming the warranty money out of VW, when I picked the car up they had actually had to lie on the paperwork about the reason it was needed, as I understand it the PV4 update is primarily for ID models, although some other things can make it needed on other drivetrains, non start issues on the new Tiguan mainly, this is what they told VW that the issue was with my GTI, which was BS! nothing changed on my car, it still randomly applies the handbrake below 3mph, which was the one thing that isn’t right with my car, and the PV4 update made no difference. ☹️
