That game boy screen. I thought they did away with those. The Polo I rented in Slovenia had a color gauge screen FFS.

Update from the :dillerman: is that there is still a software fix coming with no ETA.

Techline again recommended either driving the car as soon as I turn it on, OR waiting for the idle to settle after a minute which makes no sense since that's when the CEL pops up.

No contact from the regional rep yet but he'll let me know if they hear anything from them today. Picking the car up tonight.

All euro spec VW's are ahead of murican's, it's embarrassing. The tiguan that I drove in Turkey is colorful too. But just the fonts are like in my mk7.

Oh and did i mention it has the same engine as the jetta, the 1.4t

Yeah. Supposedly it's software but they have no idea when the patch is coming.

Dang that’s frustrating af and they couldn’t tell you this without keeping the car over night ? It seems like it should have taken less than 5min to check light and get you on your way. service department is inept

They probably could've done it in 5 minutes. I wanted to get it to them asap since I was on a time crunch and we weren't sure if VW was going to have them try anything else.

Eh. I wouldn't say it's that bad. It's definitely better than the Mk6 Jetta.

Paid more attention to it while driving it back to the diller. Rubber steering wheel. Plastic shift knob. No heated seats. Mucho hard plastic on the dash and door cards. No sunglasses holder in the roof. Prop rod for the hood.

Also yes, rubber steering wheel is heinous.

Looking at VW's website and mine was an SE. Real leather steering wheel, brown leatherette interior, and heated seats. It did have the poverty radio though so no sirius.
