Infotainment system clock not working

After a cold spell I noticed that the infotainment clock was reading 0:00 while the dash clock and dials clock read the correct time. I noticed that occasionally it will flash the time 6:28 for a fraction of a second and then revert to 0:00.
I have seen reports of this clock being out of sync by a second or two (which I think is normal) but can't find any reports of this.
Does anyone have any ideas?
2015 2.0 GT TDI

This exact issue has happened to me today showing 0.00 then flashes to 6.28 for a split second! 2016 1.4 GT
Intrigued to know if you have found a fix to this - have tried hard reset of head unit and resetting clock time but still having the same issue

No luck. I thought it might be a voltage issue (you can get odd things happen if the voltage is low) but my battery is within tolerance.
Odd they both read 6:28. It must mean something.

Very strange that it's happened in the same week for both - also can't seem to find any reports of the same issue online.
Have also checked my battery voltage and it's fine. Please do update if you find a fix

Actually seems to be a well known issue across various VW 2015/2016 models. Looks like it could be a software issue but not seen anyone post a fix yet
