did you use a vw service centre ?
Thanks for getting back. Mine certainly only seems to happen after 45 minutes. I’ll call them tomorrow and see what happens.
There is a place in Bolton that do work on VAG head units. may be worth a call.No, it’s in Surbiton. KT6. You can call in by appointment for a free diagnostics but it’s a four hour drive for me. You can also send it and if you decide not to go ahead you pay the £18 return postage as the diagnostic and estimate is free.
I’m interested in this too, as my screen will not allow me to hit ‘My Destinations’ nor enter the letter ‘S’. Considering I live in the SS postal code area, it’s very annoying.Have you tried screen calibration?
If you are not far out of warranty or its been an ongoing issue then VW often do a 70/30 split and brand support covers 70 and 30 goes to dealer which is normally charged to customer, remember its the dealer charging you 30 so it costs them nothing (they are actually getting paid to do the job) so its always worth pressing the dealer for a contribution !
Personally not sure i would go down the road of a dealer replacement for one of these, there are several companies selling these units that will drop into any vans with all features (like app connect and voice) unlocked for a fraction of the cost they are charging
There was a similar post on Facebook where a bloke said he can replace the screen for £200Hi, I have a VW T6 with a Discover Media head unit. I am having problems using the touchscreen, mainly on left hand side. I have tried cleaning without success. Does anyone have any other ideas? If it needs replacing any recommendation on a replacement? I guess the VW unit will be expensive!
I'm having exactly the same problems on my 4 yr old Transporter. Interested to hear any results that don't cost the earth.I’m getting exactly the same, again on a 2016 T6, it’s got its own poltergeist, tried sending me to Iceland via the satnav the other day. I was quoted north of £1700 to do a like for like replacement from a VW independent garage.
interested to know how katmav1 managed to get VW to pay - how far out of warranty was it?
I’ll be ringing VW to talk about a software update, will let you know how that plays out..
@Stephen Hover did you get this sorted?I have a 2016 T6 with a faulty touchscreen, only on the left hand side. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
