I think it's the dumb solutions to the problems that annoy me the most. Solutions that don't actually fix anything.

VW fault finding trees need a major work over. It's got to be costing them a fortune in wasted parts and ultimately lost customers

It's commonplace over on the R forum that smashed puddle light, should be able to get a replacement under warranty I'd have thought.

So, 3 weeks ago I had a new steering wheel fitted, all good since. In fact no bongs since the initial visit to the dealer about 2 months ago when they updated to software version 1899.

Over the last 3 weeks there has been a couple of OTA updates, all good.  Today however not good.  Got a notification for another OTA update, parked the car up and started the update.  An hour later it still wasn’t finished.  4 hours later I was on the phone to VW as the software update had gone into a loop - up comes the ‘welcome to vw splash screen’ followed by the GTI screen, then it goes blank, then various bongs and errors on the dashboard, then repeat again and again and again!!!  Spoke to VW direct, they weren’t much use - soft boot the system.  Then spoke to a ‘master tech’ at my local vw, not much else he could suggest other than what had already been done, other than why he called a canbus silence - leave the car switched off for 30 minutes. 

Needless to say nothing worked and I had a 50 mile trip home with the system constantly rebooting and the car is booked in to my local dealer on Monday so they can investigate and force the update.

Car has been in today - diagnosis is it requires a new infotainment module. The part is being delivered to the dealer tomorrow! So car at dealer overnight.  Thankfully my partner also works in Glasgow otherwise travelling the 30 miles home might have been an issue……

That would’ve been a bit of a long walk home Gavin!

At least they’re cracking on with it.  :smiley:

So……despite being told yesterday the part would be delivered today, it wasn’t  :sad:  The part is on back order, so no idea when it will be delivered/available.  Local dealer now sorting me a hire car through VW UK, although this could take up to 48 hours to organise.

Needless to say I’m not happy.
