Any TSB/update number to your knowledge?

If Cupra are anything like Ford - they need to exact details presenting to them cos they know very little...

I can't share the numbers but the update is called "PV4-RC".

This happens in my leon VZ2, my ambient light is usually set to red but over the last few days especially at night it seems to flicker blue, extremely noticable. i changed my lighting to blue so i dont notice is now as i cannot be bothered with the faff of taking it back to the dealers

Correct, it's a dealer upgrade so has to go to them, had mine done for a number of software issues incl flashing ambient light

Well, the saga goes on, I had informed the dealership over a month ago of the issues I was having and also informed them of the update to address the issue...
Car went in yesterday for its first service and they would not perform the upgrade because my car (a 25 plate) wasnt on their list of cars to have the update applied to it (they have a criteria based upon build date and apparently mine falls outside that) so I explained to the service guy that my car IS suffering from the flickering light issue and they finally agreed to have it in to apply the upgrade - he did say its part of an upgrade that is for the whole car and not just the flickering light issues and will take TWO DAYS to do!!! So I now need to rebook the car in...

My PV4 upgrade was done alongside the car's first service about a month ago (2025 car too). I took the car to the dealership for about 8.30am, they managed to start the update in the morning and the car was ready to collect in the afternoon - so in my experience it actually doesn't take 2 days to do - they're just covering themselves in case they start it later in the day, or maybe that's what Cupra tell them to say?

...to be fair to your dealer, my dealer also told me it would take 2 days.

It takes approximately 5 hours to complete, providing everything goes through without an issue, which is very rare. Advising it will take two days is wise business practice. No point setting it in concrete that they only take 5 hours, then leaving the customer in limbo because the update has gone belly up.
