Hopefully this will get it sorted for you.

It is said by VW that I have to book it in because the car needs a software update and other toying by their guys. Seems it is a rapid response interaction .... 4 June 2024 ! :) Might have thought when you pay what was the price of a house when I was a lad , that the VW Dealer that sold it to you might have sorted these things first ! Thanks Heritage Bristol and for not bothering to answer mails.

Have to say that with both Golf 8s I bought and also the Audi A6s I have had, the whole process of setting up the primary user etc has been done as part of the handover. They were all new cars but that should not make a difference.

Oh it gets better. The car only had 2500 miles on in and was 18 months old. I asked for a print out of the service record and it showed the initial service and a MPC in March 2024 . I said the car display shows a service in 154 days , yet VW Approved Used says any service due in 6 months of purchase is done for you . As 154 days is less than 6 months could you do a service. They said the MPC was done in March , and I replied that is a multi point check and not a service plus the car service data was not updated nor was VWs computer record. So are you failing to keep records or trying to pull the wool over my eyes ?

You need to follow the instructions that I wrote. You must connect using the car's e-sim.
Up to date software also a must.
If this is a VW dealer report them to VW - very shoddy service!
