Golf mk8 / Re: PV4 software update
« Last post by Adam1986uk on 31 August 2025, 10:29 »
For me it fixed the front facing parking sensors randomly not activating, it also fixed various software bugs such as the shop not opening, internet radio not working, no live map info, etc. I had a TPI number logged against my issues which was eventually linked to the software update.

I now get over the air software updates, which I didn't get before and they've been pretty regular since the dealership update.

It also added a new button along the bottom of the screen for 'rapid cool' that wasn't there before - not entirely sure how this differs to 'max AC' though!

The only thing it hasn't fixed is the awful speed limit sign recognition, it's regularly wrong (and often by an extreme level e.g. on motorways (UK) it occasionally thinks that the limit is 100mph, whilst on adaptive cruise control).

Golf mk7 / Re: Thermostat housing / Water pump / Coolant level.

Finally got the car back, they traced fault to the N493 actuator for engine temp regulation.  Replaced the N493 actuator, thermostat housing and seals and bleed the cooling system.  All covered under the extended warranty happily, will monitor it and see what happens

Hello!
Lots of good info on the forum, a multitude of lights isn't unheard of and could be something simple and entirely unrelated!
Good luck and enjoy yourself.

Probably someone with erwin access can find the details... If there are any.

Probably it's a case of individual TPs pointing to the campaign...

For a while I have wanted to try a set of 18" wheels on the Golf.
As shown, a set of genuine VW Pretoria' in silver.
I am not sure, maybe with a little brake dust & road grime they will calm down a little? 😉


I love red with silver wheels combo! Can never go wrong That's how my dad and I specced his car!

What are the bugs that this claims to solve? I <touches wood> haven't had any gremlins, bar not being able to turn up Android Auto volume when the car first starts up (you need to turn the volume down first to zero, then it works again)

Are there well known bugs that this update is supposed to sort? Seems really risky!

I’ve asked the dealership for the release notes for this reason, I’ve only ever had one time when several bongs and warnings happened at once, all disappeared after an ignition cycle and never came back, there were fault codes stored though, because of this they advised that this update be performed, the technician stated on the paperwork that the vehicle software is currently at 0507, and needs updating to 0508 by completing the PV4 update. Even though it doesn’t cause me any bother, my forward collision warning can sometimes be a touch over zealous, I believe this is one of the things that would be addressed.they assure me it’s a safe update and the ones they’ve previously performed have gone without a hitch. I am unsure wether to have it done though, they told me I can decline if I so wish, and this wouldn’t effect warranty etc, so as it stands I’m waiting on them providing the release notes for me to see what it entails, and if it’s worth it. I’d bet my bottom dollar that they tell me VW will not permit me to view the notes though.

Your Lane Assist is still coded off Carlos? No more turning it off on every startup?

Yes! It still remembers the last state it was in, which in my case is OFF.👌

I did the same, went from 19" Santiago's (225/35) to 18" Protrack One's (235/40) and never looked back.
