Fluctuating Adblue Range

Does this mean it's not updated then?
Correct - still as left the factory.
Interestingly there even seems to be a fairly recent update.

Mine uses eff all. Try to add 5l recently after a million miles and it was still fairly full. No alarms, nowt. Dealer tech told me it was because I was driving it ‘correctly’ Which I thought was bollocks. So I’ll just keep a 5l container of it handy in case the system wakes up.

I don’t like this add blu drama with VW’s I must say. 20 odd years running Vito’s and everything seemed much simpler.

20 odd years ago VWs didnt have many adBlue problems either.

Too much fancy electronics (apart from ACC, I like that 😊) and ever tightening euro 6 stuff. Junk an OE system off a bike and boom, 10kg lighter.

I’m not relaxed about the adblue system on my 6.1. The dash is like a video game too. I was astonished it came with a dipstick too.

Ah nice 👍 thanks for that got it in with a local garage now so see what they say.
 
Any update?
So, took it down to garage expecting a full day but got a call hour later telling me it's done. Said they reset the system and they topped up 4lts of adblue with a drive of about 6 miles then it came back to to 6500 miles. Which came to over 120 quid, probably not covered by the warranty I reckon. I'm wondering how they got another 4lts in when I brimmed it last week and have only driven another 50 miles. Also why did it need to be driven 6 miles after if it was reset? Now I have to pray it doesn't do this again, because if it does I'll leave it running on the drive @ 0 miles instead of paying another £120 everytime, be cheaper in fuel for now anyway.
 
Can those updates only be applied by Main Dealer? Or is there some way I can download and flash them myself? Or my indy guy could do it?
