So I collected mine this morning after it apparently had all the updates done to it yesterday.

Switch it on and get the SOS warning light error immediately and it’s been spinning Loading Settings for the last half hour so I can’t even tell you what version of software I’m running.

It’s worse now than before it went in and I’ve got to put up with the squeaky front suspension until the 10th Jan as the parts are on order and can’t even get the radio to work to drown it out.

TPI instructions for cars with software versions 17** and 18** have been released by VW on the 23rd December, under TPI reference 2063230/3 and 2065639/1

This should upgrade your software to version 1890

Further updates for cars running 16** versions are expected in Q1 2022

Details below....go annoy your dealers with these, if you want fixes applied!

Wouldn’t it make better sense to fix older models first? I do hope us 16…are not going to be left high and dry.

Hard to make sense of what VW are up to software wise....all I can say is that the fix applied to our MIB3 equipped Tiguan to it's 'fixed' version 0278 appears to have done the trick and solved mph/kmh issues, etc

I've cancelled my Golf R order for a few reasons, and won't buy any 2nd hand Golf 8 unless these fixes work.

I’ve had 2 upgrades/recalls which have fixed a number of issues. It’s the inconsistency that annoys me most. Things that worked the day before don’t work today etc.
I love driving the car and how it looks so manage to mostly overlook these issues. I just hope that VW recognises that these cars need putting right ASAP.
Brand loyalty is not a given especially when car prices are rising steeply.
