Re: Sat nav problem with Mull of Kintyre

Are you taking the pi55?I have no problem with 'helping myself'as you put it, but I draw the line at fixing something that I haven't broken, that clearly is an issue that VW need to deal with ( and still haven't) given that the car is only 12 months old and as such , still under warranty. I have a j...

Re: Sat nav problem with Mull of Kintyre

Update on the updated update. Tech has given up and refered it to VW. (I'm not holding my breath) we tried one in another Passat of the same age and that worked. It appears there are two suppliers of sat nav , Delphi and another. The one version works, the other doesn't. And the software is not com...

Re: Sat nav problem with Mull of Kintyre

VW tech is scratching his head. Unit is not showing a fault on diagnostics. ( No great surprise) so he's looked into a new SD card as mine is two versions behind. He did suggest me updating the card via the web... Oh yes, I've paid (well, company has) £27k for a car that I have to fix myself... And ...

Re: Sat nav problem with Mull of Kintyre

Update: dealers had it for a day. Got it back with the message "we've updated it, of it happens again we'll need to raise it with VW technical" . Guess what? They haven't fixed it. It still refuses to navigate to ANYWHERE on the Kintyre peninsula if you have the 'no ferry' option ticked. ...

Anyone else had this? 2016 SE business. Standard Sat nav. As part of my job I have to go to the Isle of Islay. Have tried planning a route to the ferry port at Kennacraig ( on mainland) from Brum.

Re: Headlight bulb change recommendations?

Main beams are H9, and do indeed have an angled connector. Looks like no one does any uprated bulbs in H9 yet. :sad:
