Mk8 software version poll

LOL

I thought you'd bailed Ubique.... got rid of it?

I wondered if you could offer some advice, I just test drove a mk8 GTI running software version 1803. On the test drive the ACC would not active (pressing the button simply returned the dash message 'acc deactivated').

Is this a known software issue or more likely something with the front radar etc?

You need to enable it in the assist menu. Quickest way, click end of left stalk, menu pops up on dash, scroll down to ACC and click ok to enable.

Its not a software issue, its a config one...

Thanks for replying. I checked the assist menu. There wasn’t an option to toggle ACC there, you could customise its operation but fundamentally it appeared to be enabled.

The assist menu did have toggles for the lane assist etc.

No, I’ve actually just been quietly enjoying the car (apart from the software crap) but I hate the customer care so I’ve been really pushing hard on my local dealership. Let’s hope they get it back to me tomorrow sorted?
I was excited for a few minutes when they gave me a brand new r line arteon (which looks great) as the courtesy car, the excitement was short lived when I revved up the 150bhp Diesel engine! 🙄😂

Car dropped off to dealers for faults and the 1890 software update. I told the service manager I wouldn’t accept the car back unless it was updated to 1890 ( it’s on 1803 at the mo). He said there is no such update, showed him the latest photos from this thread and the look on his face was priceless! The power of this forum…I will see the result at some point tomorrow.

This is great news my car goes back in a week Wednesday to fix rattle/noise and to sort software I told my local dealer and VWUk I wasn’t happy and already been shopping around for new vehicle

They are also trying to locate that bloody passenger side rattle on mine…fingers crossed.

I’ve managed to record the noise and sent it to the dealer as ever time  they have had car back (3 times in first 3 weeks) they couldn’t find it so at least now I’ve got proof 😳

Had my CS updated to 1890 yesterday. Dealer knew about the update and was very pleasant.
So far so good. Only thing it hasn't fixed is the climate sync staying on when switching off ignition.
But I think that will never be fixed.

Other than that no problems. Fingers crossed. Really loving driving it though.

Its definitely there if you click the end of the left stalk....
