    They should be able to pull this time data from GPS.
    Same issue as everyone else, Manual gets over written.
    I've set it New Caledonia (GMT+11), see what happens when I start it in the morning.

    I have GPS as well but obviously it’s not effecting it at this point.

    that’s what I was doing. It changed New Caledonian a time to GMT+9 and once more showed me the wrong time. If that happens to you, do as NZTiguan suggests - manually correct the time. That seems to have worked for me. Manual setting, New Caledonia time zone and a manual adjustment of the actual hours on the clock.

    I have an Audi which automatically updates for Daylight Saving, location when driving across borders, so obviously using GPS.

    Given they are both under VAG, they have the technical know-how to fix. Maybe VW Hans should call Audi Hans for some tips.

    I seem to have the clock working using a temporary fix. I set time to Manual, then set the Time Zone to "-12" hours, then entered the time manually.

    I hope that works for other mk8 owners. One downside is the clock can't ensure the time is accurate as it can't Automatically use the GPS to keep the time correct. A car clock isn't intended to be a chronograph, so it shouldn't be a massive concern. Perhaps just check the time is accurate, perhaps every two or three months.

    Yeah. Same old problem they could/should have fixed. My son-in-law seemed pretty smug that his Corolla can get daylight saving right, but not VW.

    I have the same issue, VW dealers have no clue on how to fix this fault.
    To say I am happy with my MK8 GTI is an understatement.
    The Infotainment system is a crap and had a mind of its own.
    They don't care!
