Got my 2015 Mk7 GTI serviced yesterday and was told there'd been a software update applied 46G7 to fix an Auto Hold issue (woohoo, new sticker in doorwell)

Hmm, looks like I'll be hanging on to my 2015 GTI for longer than I'd planned.

Took my GTI into the dealership yesterday on its last day of warranty to get this update installed.
Cut a long story short the update wouldn't install on my car and their techs were baffled.

$25K changeover
I resisted "telling him he was dreamin' ":P
Oh well, I prefer the look of the Mk7 GTI anyway.

Has anybody here been quoted changeover from a Mk 7 standard GTI to a Mk 7.5 standard GTI ?
I realise the new one would only give me better headlights, a few extra horses and Apple Airplay but I'm...

I did mine myself some time ago :cool:
Pointed out the unpredictable operation of the car's radar but not sure if they checked anything (the service manager nodded as I explained it's behaviour...
Am taking my MK7 GTI to the dealer tomorrow morning for the free 5K checkover/runthrough they offer where I can apparently bring up any issues I've had with the car.
To be honest I've had nothing...
That's from a Meatloaf song isn't it ?

Sorry don't know but today I discovered Auto-Hold doesn't engage unless your seatbelt is on.
I'm sure there's a perfectly rationale explanation for this [emoji41]

That's a shame. I'd be quite happy to work the clutch if the car wanted to stop for me :)
Are you sure ACC is supposed to actually stop the car?
I've tried it twice (coincidentally on Punt Rd) and I know for certain I'd have run into the car in front if I didn't brake at the last...

Thanks for sharing @sucnip, look me up next time you're in Melbourne so I can buy you a beer :cool:
Took the car in this week but they couldn't see any errors logged after they "scanned" the car. So the stop/start error will remain a mystery for now.
They did load the electronic handbrake...
