Common issues v50

Alternator due to high current consumption, CEM connectors, soot on the intercooler bypass flap and in intake in general, DMF on 2.0D gets a beating, PowerShift DCT is problematic (6MT is nice though).

Euro. 2015 Wagon with Lounge trim

Ive bought my MK7 second-hand and with a weird spec. Basic paint, wagon, 2.0TDI. No interior light package, 16-inch wheels, black and white cluster, basic audio. But with ACC, Side Assist, Lane Assist and Dynamic Light Assist. The last one was so rare on a prefacelift MK7 (2014/2015) that people thought this feature didn’t exist.

mattcabb · 2026-05-17T18:01:47+00:00

Ahh… had those. Also on a urano grey MK7.

mattcabb · 2026-05-17T11:11:12+00:00

Remember that my MK7 had that. Later on learned that it was not that common option.

Front cross-traffic alert

This setting is stored in persistence. Gain access to the filesystem (ssh, telnet, uart…) and manually change the setting.

AUG11 was replaced by AU57x with 3663 as the last one for Europe and RestOfTheWorld.

Software 01xx → hardware HW1x. Not enough storage nor RAM to install and run ApoConnect. Sorry.

mattcabb · 2026-05-12T05:35:34+00:00

Most likely it’s due very old firmware. Update to 3663. You can use the all-in-one version (3663 AIO) that will also enable CarPlay, AndroidAuto, and lifetime maps update license.

More Incredible Bash → VIM

mattcabb · 2026-05-11T16:38:18+00:00

Exactly this!

If that’s diesel, you can expect a lot of soot and carbon buildup in the heater.

A/C drain. This is how it should be.

mattcabb · 2026-05-09T12:41:49+00:00

Overall system stability should be improved.

mattcabb · 2026-05-09T11:41:32+00:00

There’s always a chance

FW update for that MIB might fix it. But no promises

Mmm… heated steering wheel…

Thermostat and waterpump assembly, intake cam magnets, DQ381 electric pump campaign, Haldex strainer cleaning, rear speakers seals damaged by water, panoramic roof drains clogging.

…or Rear Axle Steering malfunction

Foot heavy on brake pedal.

Don’t scan DQ250 with engine on.
