Can I ask what dealer this is through? (I’m assuming you are in the UK?) thanks

Yes I have an appointment for software appointment on the 22nd. They said it will be solved!!! Hopefully I mean

Do you know if it’s an over the air update, or a dealer visit ?

Software update at the garage!

Looks like I can’t edit. I should have mentioned, we intend to hire both / or at least have extended test drives of both.

Everyone if you get the update done make sure the dealer actually checks that the leisure batteries charge from the hook up when it’s done..mine did not and has gone back ..check also the 240v sockets work in the van from the hook up power!!!

Hi - it would be really useful if you could ask your dealer for the VW Technical Product Information (TPI ) number for the update, so I can instruct my dealer, who seem far less knowledgeable.

To be clear the update last thursday fixed the panel which now shows the correct leisure battery voltage ( showed 5.0v before when in fact the batteries were tested to 13.4v which is fine) and percentage is now correct and time left to discharge is correct..and shows a green cable and plug on the screen when. External 240v
The down side is that next morning after leaving the external 240v to top up the batteries ( van and two leisure batteries) the batteries were not charged hence the van is back with them ..
Mine is a very early 2025 diesel ocean
