With 16k on the clock at the mo, that would make sense ajmoir36, booked in next Wednesday at Marshalls in Grimsby, sounds like they've heard of this issue a few times before. l've a Ghost immobiliser going on this monday, just for a bit of extra peace of mind, hopefully it won't be near a garage after next week for a while.

My dads Octavia VRS (17 plate is doing it) 14k on clock being fixed in August part on back order (in warranty just), and my mums Golf GT (15 plate is doing it) not had time to take it in yet has extended warranty until end of April 21.

Rumour has it if you move the shifter 50 times (or so) from P to D it cleans the contacts in the microswitch and solves the issue (temporarily) both cars flagged errors in VCDS scans.

Mine has never done it as it gets more use.

Mine throws the same error intermittently, unfortunately the only way to really resolve it is to change the entire shifter assembly as it's caused by a faulty microswitch.

I've just learnt to live with it as replacing it requires the entire center console to be disassembled, it doesn't affect driveability at least.

Be interesting to see what occurs on Wednesday/Thursday, they were guessing it was a switch, but ok to drive, so will update next week

So the fix was completed and the warranty covered it, result... :smiley:

Has anyone ever been charged or attempted to be charged for a head unit update after the unit going blank every now again ???

Why would you if the car is in warranty?  Did they attempt to charge you?

The Head unit (l've been told isn't covered by the extended warranty) they have told me its an £85 bill.
