Mk8 software version poll

It actually seems worse than before, with error bongs occuring every 30 seconds or so plus a new 'gear selector' fault.

What sort of errors is it throwing now?

The gear selector fault sounds more mechanical than software bug though doesn't it?

It is. Had my selector replaced this week. The part was on back-order and took a couple of weeks to come in.

I had a similar problem with my gear selector switch and it was changed last month, after waiting a few weeks for it to arrive on back order. Before it was changed, you could hear an audible clunk on switching from D to R or the other way round. Hopefully, there's no long term damage caused, as a result.

Front assist, Lane assist, ACC and to top it all, the dreaded SOS error accompanied by the double thump noise that the software update appeared to have fixed.
It's been doing this for 3 weeks now but there are days where there are no errors at all.

It started again with the image of a car on my left in the display as I was overtaking and the ACC immediately slowed the car as if it was set for continental driving.
This happened regularly in the early days but hadn't happened once on 1896 until 3 weeks ago.

I had a 300+ mile journey to do and it threw constant errors the whole way, absolutely did my nut in.

I don't know if my gear selector error is mechanical or electrical but they are waiting for 'a module' to swap out.

I've had a few manoveur braking warnings and light assist errors but not as many as before and they are transient (unlike before where they remained until restart) - which probably means something happened that has impaired the sensor briefly but its not given a warning light - which means its sorted its life out. I would expect those - if they are impaired by signal interference or something but the interference goes away.

The SOS reboot double click noise I've not seen since 1896 - and I have now been to place where it always did it. Have you had your SOS unit replaced? Mine was as part of 1896...

I've not seen the wrong side of the road thing for a long time - and the wrong speed limit detection seems much better too.

There is no logic to this-a 230 mile journey today and not one single error or warning other than the gear selector.

They changed the SOS module when they did the steering wheel.

Here's a weird one... since 1896 I have two strange things...

1) the eco tips ("take your foot off the accelerator") is on, despite it being set to off in the dash setup (under vehicle)

2) I swear the nav map used to dim at night to a black background.... it doesn't now and I can't find where it might be set.

On one of the icons that is always displayed on the map screen itself, if I remember correctly. The menu/hamburger icon. It brings up day, night and auto choices. Left side of the screen on the bottom. It’s hiding in plain sight. My car did it a few weeks ago and it took me a while to work it out too, after I was through loads of menus. 😂

[fredgroves]

Ahhh that will be it!

Thank you!

Just the stupid eco tips problem left...

I now seem to be getting the dreaded bongs on every drive - with the various assist systems declared as being 'unavailable' for a second or two.   

As it most often occurs when I make a tight turn, even I'm tempted to ask VW to change the steering wheel - has that actually worked for anybody on the forum or would I be wasting my time?
