Hi, I have a B8 Passat (2015) BiTDi and 6 weeks ago, when driving, I'd suddenly get a full set of warning lights on the dash, followed by all of the instruments and Discover Media turning off, the clock would immediately advance to midnight, the trip reset to zero and all the dials drop to zero. The engine was running fine. Then after a few seconds it would all come back on again, but reset items stayed reset. The accompanying 'squeak' as it rebooted was pathetic.
This happened time after time. It spent 2 1/2 weeks with the dealer and was told that the dashboard software (probably firmware) was reloaded.
It's just the normal instrument panel, not the Active Info Display.
Sadly the Odometer was the only thing which didn't reset, so it's still got 25k on the clock.
3 weeks on and it's happened again. The fact that the engine is still working means that I can continue to drive it, but have no idea how fast I'm going and I wonder what else will go wrong next.
It seems to do it when it's warm outside, which wouldn't normally be a problem in the UK, but is this summer!
Anyone out there had anything like this happen to theirs?
Thanks.
