Hi Bevo...welcome to the Forum Cheers, Trevor

Hi Tony...welcome to the Forum Not the expert on MMI but there is some information in the Guides section of the forum and also the Technical section as well. Possibly you have to hold the button for a prolonged period (10 seconds on the Honda's) otherwise, maybe the function has been deleted out of your car. The sensors may be physically there but not programmed in....otherwise they may be covers for install at a later date. Sorry, these may be guesses but if anyone knows better, please jump in Cheers Trevor

I wouldn't want to appear to be labouring the point Rob, but I would not necessarily go with the idea that chains are for life -. Well of course, they are for the life of the chain! - which may not be the same as what the life of the engine would have been if the chain and tensioner wear had been attended to ! Have a look at other threads where such wear has resulted in catastrophic engine failure. 4 year time interval for changing belts? Agree it would be good - but erring on the side of caution, and perhaps more like..... or 5 years which ever comes first ...normally. Kind regards, Gareth.

Hello Nuala, I'm sorry to hear that your issues are adding to the bad experiences of others. How many bad experiences against good ? Only VAG would know I guess. Not that it will be any consolation to you, but the thought of having to take a car of mine in for a so called update, would lead to many sleepless nights. Thanks, but no thanks for a free update! Now I'm not sure how this will be received by the administrators of this forum - but it's only a personal opinion of what I would be tempted to do if it were mine - I would formally write the to the dealer principal by recorded delivery letter and register my dissatisfaction as a result of this upgrade and inform him that I intend to present the facts of my discontents to the media, since I understand that mine is not an isolated bad experience following these updates. Tell them that I propose to do that within say seven days receipt of the letter unless I have the car returned to me ( with no expense to me) in the same performance mode as it was before I was asked to return it for this upgrade. Still not happy after this? Then it would be the national press for me. I must emphasise that this is what I would do if it were mine, and not necessarily a recommendation for what others should do, but I could be something to think about. I can only wish you well in your quest to right the wrongs. Kind regards, Gareth.
