Mk8 software version poll

[Chriz1]

Just tried calling my local dealer and gave my reg I'm on software 1788. They said there is no software update listed for my car. I said I have a tpi number and she said it would come up through the reg if it was due an update..

This is what is wrong with this crap. The fix is there, its documented but getting a dealer to do it...

So mine was on 1788 and I had mine update a couple of weeks ago to the latest software. My VW dealer said you had to raise specific issues for you to get it! I told him what he wanted to hear and they did it.

If you look back through this post there is the report which includes TPI number you have mentioned. On that I think if details the specific issues. I would call them back and say you have some of those and you will likely be updated.

I have to say, since I have had mine update, it’s been spot on. Seems to load faster from start up and also the clock now appears on the main screen after switching off or opening the door. Never used to do that.

My car was in back in November for all the usual issues it came out a load worse even then the service desk guy told me there working on a fix and when it's available they will call. Il go on armed with the Tpi number I think. Dealers are dummys

There's no news yet on 16** software from what I understand - timescale still suggests sometime in Q1 2022

Covid and come and (almost) gone.  Several vaccines have been invented and administered to millions. Meanwhile VW cannot fix a few minor software bugs within a similar timescale.

Haha this made me chuckle 🤭. Mine goes back next Wednesday and they will be told I don’t want it back until it’s fixed end off ..! I’ve already emailed VWuk and told them exactly what I think of there handling of the situation  (to be honest I think that fell on deaf ears)

Nasa probably figured out most of the apollo programme in less time too...

Vag's software team need firing tbh.

I'm on 1668 with the usual errors and had my first oil change service done yesterday, also a software update for the SOS system.
When I collected the car, the dealer told me I need a new steering wheel "to stop all of the assist system errors".

They were aware of the 'big' update but said they had no idea when the 16** version would be available-mind boggling considering the model has been on sale for almost 2 years...

Anyway, 2 week delivery on the steering wheel-I will post an update when it has been fitted and the car is completely error free
