What have you done to your VWCV today??

I would run MTL on your Caddy mate, The six speeders Mt90, and as far as warranty goes, im sure they wouldnt know what they were looking at anyway, its guaranteed for 400,000ks.
Tool box in a bottle as far as im concerned
Cheers

Nothing - it's still at the dealers to fix the problems - it's now been 2 weeks

Just got van back tonight. Dont' know what's going on down at the dealers, but WHY CAN'T THEY GET THINGS RIGHT ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

Went in to fix the powered LH side door - seems to be fixed.
Sat Nav couldn't find any satellites - now finds satellites
System would not turn off when the van was powered off - now fixed
Rear vision camera was too dark - now has new camera (waiting nearly twelve months for them to "discover" that this was the fix they needed to do)

But Now:

The new camera has been installed on the AUX input on the system, so you physically have to switch to the camera before you reverse!!!!!!! It no longer auto switches when you go into reverse

I'm getting tired of this ...

That last part sounds like an incorrect software coding, straight back mate

I reflashed my Caddy yesterday with the Oettinger program.
I love it!!!
Wheelspin in 1st even with the 18s and Yokohama's is very common.
I went away on a trip in the GTI last weekend and noticed the lack of power of the Caddy when I jumped into it on sunday night.
The handling has always been great and the extra power makes it an awesome vehicle now!

I didn't do it today, but I spent afternoon and evening replacing water pump in my T5.
(Most of that time was wasted making special tool to hold the water pump gear.)
I was hoping it would never come to it. Over almost 5 years I topped up coolant reservoir with the distilled water twice (1/4L) and I don't think it should need any topping up since it is a closed system. Last week I topped up 1/2L and checked under the oil cap - no signs of water there, so far so good. But on Monday the coolant alarm beeped on me, the red light was flashing I pulled over and checked under the bonnet and swore, the coolant level was under the minimum mark.

Gregozedobe you were right.

Installed the proximity central locking today. Took pwr and earth from the cigarette lighter socket and mounted under the centre console. Works a treat and very simple. Called pierre and he ran me through programming the new key with the V checker. Everything works spot on. Very happy!

Just been told after three weeks in the dealers that the unit they have installed cannot be used with a reverse parking cameraa unless we want to manually switch to the camera when reversing. I'm fed up!

what are the alternatives for a replacement that others may have seen/installed ...

Why can't it be activated when the reverse lights come on be taking a power feed from there?

It appears to be a matter that the camera is installed onto the AUX video input, not a reversing camera input, so you physically have to switch to the AUX input when you are in reverse.
As a side note a message comes up on the screen to the effect that "due to it being dangerous to watch video when driving the AUX video is disabled" Hmmmm
