Overhead display.

Jukebox70 · Dec 3, 2020

There is a G in a circle and a flashing roof up symbol and 0 % battery charge in the overhead display. Its been with VW today to have an inspection, I asked them to test the leisure batteries, they said the pop up roof isn't working, although it is. Not much help from them really. I was in lockdown in Spain and unable to charge the batteries on hookup or start the engine for a couple of months. I have since hooked up and the batteries are not charging. I have a 2015 180SE DSG. Are the leisure batteries likely to be knackered, or do I pay VW more money to test them and diagnose the fault? Frankly I dont have much confidence in them. Thanks for any advice.

There is a distinct possibility the Leisure Batteries could be irreparably damaged.
Try this first though.

Check Control Panel Diagnostics.

Control Panel Off and wait 30 secs
Control Panel On
Press and Hold R lower button and then press Control Knob for 5 secs.
New Hidden Menu . Scroll to VW Diagnostics.
If there are any codes shown, take note and then Reset/Clear.
Return to Main Menu.
Switch Off Control Panel using L lower button. Wait 30 secs and Switch On.

For those of you who don't know, if you ever get any problems with roof stuck or any other error say with the heater or fridge, you are able to access the hidden menu in your control panel as used by the VW Engineers.

Access as follows:
1. Hold down the centre of the rotary button together with the menu button (button below with the squares on it)
2. You will get the hidden menu.
3. Rotate the rotary button to get to "VW diagnose" and select this by pressing on the centre of the rotary button.
4. If no errors are present it will display "no errors"
5. If Errors are present then a list of errors will appear
6. Press the centre of the rotary button again to delete all the errors
7. Repeat process above just to check that errors have dissapeared!
8. Re-configure the time and date if neccesary.

Any problems should be resolved assuming these are Electronic and not Mechanical.

No.. But I’m sure there’s a way.

If I do need new batteries, are there any recommendations/sites/specifications I should be looking at?

Any chance of putting this on a PDF to print off to keep in the carpet? Would be a great resource, please.

These are the OEM replacement.
As long as the dimensions are the same there are other makes.
