Am I just lucky or is it the fact I have a MY23 car and they are have no fixed the issues, no bongs, no errors, nothing in 6 months of ownership.
*runs to touch wood*
You're not the only one touching wood! My car is older again (August 2021 build) and no bongs here. Very very occasional ones only, typically on startup but I can't remember the last time it happened.
It seems to be a totally mixed bag with no real pattern to it in terms of car's age or even the software version. I'm on 1896.
My hunch is, that it may have something to do with both age of car, software version and which hardware revision is fitted, my car is an October 2021 build (MY22) and I have never really had any of the widespread problems, I had only very rare bongs while on 1896sw, and now I’m on 1899sw (although it’s only been a few weeks) I’ve had nothing bong wise at all, I did have the infotainment crash a couple of times though just after the dealership updated the software to 1899, but since I did a soft reset on it, it’s not happened again! I think that the main problems stem from hardware issues on early cars, these cars seem to continue to have trouble even when running the later software, where as the later cars classed as MY22 onwards, which would be mid/late 2021 builds, appear to suffer far fewer problems, there have been threads where owners of early cars have been plagued by faults and notifications, but when VW had finally resulted to swapping out specific control modules to the latest revisions, the issues greatly reduced, and even stopped completely in most cases.
