Yeah will do at some point. whats your dealer said about it?

Hi, no not had the chance to speak to the dealer. It’s happened a couple of times since, very annoying. I pretty much drive exclusively in Nurburgring mode in M+, it’s happened less recently as I think I was constantly trying to shift up slightly too early when in traffic. Not definitive so will wait and see and definitely feels like a bug.

Yes will do! I would be doing 11mm Front, 16mm rear if I was buying again The rear has dropped less than the front which you will see when I get a side profile 👍🏻

Agree the front end looks miles better on the 8.5. yes 15mm front, 20mm rear on Eibachs rides almost as stock and looks miles better imo!

Boggo black edition!

Had an issue a few times now; I always drive in manual and use the paddles… three times now mid journey the paddles have stopped working. Only turning the car off and then back on has allowed me to use manual mode again does this ring any bells for anyone? Loathed to have to take it into the dealer less than a week after delivery

Mats and keys = Yes I didn't get a USB cable but haven't checked the glove box thinking about. Will take a look and see if triangle etc is in the boot kit as well

I cant get my head around if the MK8.5 can have the same coding already sorted for the MK8? Also are there places in the UK that offer coding as a service that is recommended here? I am after: Keep car is last used mode Remember last setting for all assists (Front assist, lane warning, stop/start, and others) Remember last setting the ESC Not sure if all of these are possible or available but would rather not have to keep going through the same 10 presses each startup!

Do we think the OBD options will be the same on this vs the 8? As in the new infotainment won’t mean starting from scratch? As well as those things listed above can you perm disable or at least remember last setting on front assist?

Just lowering springs and spacers, seeing it in person the wheel gap and sunken rear wheel was too much!

i'll just suck it up and pay the modified cover whilst playing a tune on my violin then!

How are people finding the insurance on their incoming 8.5's? Non-modified I am getting quotes of around £600 With lowering springs they are doubling to £1200!!!

What’s the general thoughts? 15mm all around?

This really looks lowered with spacers... and in a VW dealer?

If my car is being delivered 6th dec is it likely missing this?

Looks like i need to get some muscle memory baked in to disable these things until mk8.5’s are more understood! Thanks for the wheel link, will get them and some 15mm spacers ordered!

Brilliant thanks guys Re speed warning I am talking about the audible warning if you exceed the speed limit which is now standard and is on each time you start the vehicle from 2024 I will probably grab the wheels as resale will probs be around 2k when the car goes I would say! ET50 is terrible though, not sure if there is a generally accepted forum standard for spacers? 15mm?

I’ve got a boggo black edition coming in December on a lease. I jumped on a deal that I couldn’t configure, gutted I missed out on a black one so had to settle with lapiz which I am not a huge fan of but its a first world problem really. Few questions that I cant find the answers to that you guys may know; Can you code lane departure and speed warnings off as default? Also can you code that it remembers the last mode you were in? Anyone seen if you can buy the Warmenau forged wheels separately? Cheers,
