Avon calling!

They've clearly got some major issues because with a gearbox selector fault it will be 6 weeks before I could get a slot for them to look at it...

Suggests they are overwhelmed with sh1t

I didn't want to jinx it so I kept quiet about the lack of bongs in my car recently.  They completely stopped for a period of two or three months but following a minor OTA software update last week (I'm still on 1899) they are back with a vengeance.  Just as they were before it's "XXX assist system not available" numerous times on every journey.

I wish there was an undo button.  I really enjoyed the last few months, but it feels even worse when the bongs bite back.   

Argghhh!

Exactly the same here Bill, pretty much bong free for quite awhile then the latest OTA bongs are back.

[fredgroves]

I've not had any bongs since the last update... other than the bong about my gear selector.... which is still unfixed.... waiting for a part.

[WelshGolf]

no errors for me since the update either, didn't have any errors anyway

VW should do a software update to allow you to select silent mode, so you could at least turn off the bong noises

I agree - when you have 20 bongs on every journey, you start to ignore them anyway, so just give us a way to turn the damned things off or at least silence them.

Also not wishing to tempt fate, mine has been silent over the warmer months and not so much as a bong since the new steering wheel was fitted (touch wood)

Ok, I tempted fate.

Today the clock decided it was still the same time as when I last used the car which was hours and hours previously.
Still no bongs…  YET!
(Aside from front assist on dewy mornings which is probably genuine bongworthy)

So true. I have a 1994 S2 Avant with zero rust, a 1999 A4 Avant with zero rust. My wife's 2010 Passat is riddled with rust and VW refused a warranty claim when it was 9 years old saying it was "through rust"!
