Hello all, this is just an update on the ongoing problems I have had with my 2021 MK8 Golf,
Almost three years on - currently waiting to have faulty engine oil level sensor replaced (due tomorrow 15th) during the two month wait front parking sensors stopped working and now out of the blue the "Travel assist is currently unavailable" error has emerged. Last time I had that was in the first year - October 2021 Thought it just might be a once off occurrence but no such luck it's there every day for the past week.
So for the past two months oil level and parking sensor error bongs every time I start the car and now the travel assist bong has joined them. Only a few months last year without any problems and since the last two software updates problems have reemerged, currently on 1941 software version.
Am I correct that after three years of living with false hope that this car will never be right and that the software cannot work with or match with the cars' hardware.
P.S. am expecting to be told tomorrow that there will be another two month wait to fix (if possible) the parking sensor and travel assist errors.

). With all the tech in modern cars, it’s understandable that there will be issues on occasions, but IMHO VW does seem to have had more than it’s fair share; not just with the Golf but also with other MQB-based models that share the same - or have similar - software. It really is a shame as the current Golf is very accomplished dynamically, and offers a rewarding driving experience.
