Any help is appreciated

Parts that have been replaced under the 3 year Factory Warranty are covered for the remainder of the Factory Warranty; they don’t have an individual warranty.

This is from the Factory Warranty terms and conditions;

Replacement parts warranty
All Volkswagen Original replacement parts carry a parts warranty for a period of 2 years/unlimited mileage, from the date of purchase. Items with warranties in excess of 2 years will be advised to you at the time of purchase. The 2 year parts warranty does not apply to parts fitted under the terms of the vehicle warranty, which are warranted for the remaining period of the vehicle warranty. Fair wear and tear items covered by replacement parts warranty are subject to the same limitations as for new cars as detailed above.

Which has always sounded a bit crazy if you apply it to an extreme example - say you had a new engine fitted under your new car warrantee the week before it ran out - that would effectively mean a brand new engine had only 7 days warrantee on the parts and the fitting....

There doesn't seem to be any recognition that there is a chance a defective new part might be fitted in the warrantee period.

Look at the T&Cs it does say if you're warranty or extended warranty has lapsed within 30 days then you can't make a claim within the next thirty days. So maybe take it out then claim after 30 days, or maybe a bit more to avoid any hassle.

Came back on here to see if it was happening to anyone else.  My bongs are back before and after the software update that wiped my settings.  Front assist, travel assist, SOS, plus a newish one of "Data not available" popping up.   Mine is also a 21 plate.

I'm on an extended warranty for a couple more months and car is in for service and MOT next month and asked for this to be looked at.

Yes the sos update has brought back the bongs for me too (21 plate mk8)

Yeah guess we've all got the same issue then, never seams to be consistent sometimes its non stop bongs then sometimes not at all, i was a lucky on the first time round didn't seam to happen that often but this time is bonkers

[DrG_GTi]

came on to say my 21' plate CS is also suffering from the bongs again since the update

[GtIOlly]

Bong update,
Took mine in for a service on Monday,  vw apparently not aware of any issues after the update but will log my concerns, pretty sure thay also did a software update and not had any issues since 🤞, also quoted £400 for a new ststeering wheel so well see what happens next (out of warranty btw)

Prob a bit late for you but have you considered the all in plan? I've just taken it out £960 ish, for two years. That is for two services, two MOTs and two years extended warranty with roadside assistance. It's a no brainer if you're planning on keeping the car. Personally I think it represents great value, hence why I took it out.
