This is a Volkswagen Golf 4, 1.4 16V (engine code: APE).
Can I read the software version using VAG-COM? Is it possibly a 4-digit number? In my case, it would be 3014. How do I find out if there's an update available?
Since I'm not a regular customer, they always put up obstacles and want to charge 70 euros just for the inspection, which I think is excessive.

Best regards, Jaison.

Counter-question: Why would you want to do that? Are there any problems with the engine?

Yes, the software version is a four-digit number. Here's how you can find out if there's a newer version than 3014 for your ECU icon_question.gif icon_question.gif icon_question.gif.

Why don't you ask in the CT forum ? Maybe they know more.

EDIT: I see you already did that an hour ago...

No, there are no real problems.
'It's just the rough engine sound and the short ringing noise when accelerating that bother me.'
The knocking control system can retard the ignition timing by up to 8° for gasoline with a research octane number (RON) of 95.
I would like to know if the number 3014 is a software version number, and if there is a newer version available.

Best regards, jai.
