Alex-1980

There was no security guard, and from what I overheard 6 of the cameras weren’t working! It was a customers car, 18reg. They also had 2 sets of GTi wheels taken off cars at the rear of the garage.

Someone else has just told me another car was also done around the back of the garage.

Just dropped my car off at jct600 in Sheffield and this is in the car park, been done overnight . There will be an unhappy customer somewhere. Wheels, brake discs, callipers, bumber, headlights, steering wheel all taken.

I was considering them, but in the end went for Michelin pilot sport 4s, as there was only £15 difference and I figure the Michelin should last longer (from previous Michelin’s I’ve had).

You got anymore details on the battery cover please??

Replacement part for me as well, no arguing with the dealer they never suggested anything else.

Hi BlueR, did you manage to find that link for fitting the lights/wiring??

Yes please, I’d be interested as well. Thanks

Hi, did your car have the door lights or did you have to wire them in??

Dropped my car off at the dealers yesterday, phone call this afternoon confirming they have diagnosed the fault and parts are required (gear selector in their words). Parts on order for arrival on Wednesday, so get to drive around in the 1.0 Up a bit longer.....lucky me!!! 🤔

That looks good, do you mind me asking how much and how long it took to do??

To be fair to them, they have been really good. I’ve had a couple of issues and all of them have been sorted without any drama.

Brilliant, thanks for that. spoke to the dealership and it’s booked it for next week. They even said they have heard of it before and were aware of the issue.

Wondered if anyone could help, I’ve had this message appear twice now on my 2017 Golf R DSG. Both times the car has been left in P with the handbrake applied. Turning the engine on and off doesn’t clear the message, but driving off does clear it?!? Any help much appreciated! 🤔

Is yours a mk7.5 golf r? Mine is just a mk7.

Photos and a link/guide would be great 👍

What did you think to carista? Is it any better than obd11 and if you don’t mind, how much was it?

I had exactly the same issue with my new R. Driving hom from collection the ride felt terrible and the car didn’t seem planted on the road. Went back to the dealer and there it was, one of the transport blocks left in the suspension. Needless to say I wasn’t happy, that coupled with the scratched radio surround, scratched leather and seat base, led to some dealer compensation!!!

How did you do them? Are they easy to do?

How hard is it to swap the badges, I’ve had some for over a year now and never got round to fitting them.

Just waiting for the new steering wheel to arrive from Germany, then it’s dtra in to be swapped over and full alignment check, otherwise it will drive me crazy if it isn’t straight! 😜

No I don’t wear any jewellery and nobody else drives my car, plus the damage is top and bottom on the small section of leather at the bottom right corner.

Bit of good news, I’ve taken the car to a different dealership (the one where I bought the car) and received a completely different level of service. They couldn’t do enough to help, fully understood this wasn’t acceptable and not normal. They took photos, submitted it to vw and today have contacted me to confirm it has been accepted and a new steering wheel is on order. it just goes to show different dealerships offer far different levels of service and it pays to stick to the good ones!!!

Well I’ve spoken with a specialist leather repairer and he says it shouldn’t have worn like this in a year, and basically it’s a manufacturing defect. The problem is if I can convince a dealership/vw the same. Got it booked in at another dealer, so fingers crossed they will do something!
