  1. Mine's started doing this, thought I just wasn't pushing hard enough. Would it be covered under warranty? The genuine ones on eBay are over £91!
  2. My 7.5R lease is coming to an end and I was quoted £31,725 to purchase the car. Seems like a lot for a 2 year old car on 11k miles when there's a new model out but looking on CarWow etc., this seems to be the going rate. Madness.
  3. I miss the DSG farts but I've also disabled the Soundaktor completely on this one whereas I just had it on the lowest setting before. I think I prefer how my previous one sounded but at least the exhaust is not as boomy as it was over the first 500 miles.
  4. Mine's on about 700 miles and the pops and bangs on overrun almost seem excessive. Although they are quite muffled from inside. I've had the DSG farts once or twice but they are very rare. The sound is so different to my previous 7.5.
  5. I'm on my third Mk 7 Golf and can't believe how poor the OEM wipers are. Every time they wipe downwards, there is a large patch right in my sight line which goes un-wiped! Can't believe this hasn't been picked up in quality control.
  6. How do you find out the build date? Mine has keyless, camera, lane assist, traffic sign recognition, dynamic light assist etc.
  7. Yes mine too, but I think it's Dynamic Light Assist? Seems to be part of the new standard features on the latest builds along with the reversing camera and lane assist.
  8. I've just got a new WLTP R and am having the issue with Performance Monitor not remembering which gauges I've selected. Has anyone got this fixed by VW via a software update?
  9. I was told by a dealer that any orders after 31st October would have a price increase of 12%. Unsure how true that is.
  10. I've had a few reboots and lots of freezes while using Carplay.
  11. In the UK they are now 296hp (300 PS) instead of 306hp (310 PS). I think the reason they are are lower in the US may be related to the climate and fuel octane rating (across the country as a whole).
  12. I've used Eco coasting a few times when I'm on bingo fuel and nowhere near a petrol station. Feels a bit wrong but obviously helps with MPG.
  13. Mine's done this a couple of times with branches etc. It's a 2017 mk 7.5 so not a new thing but I think you can disable it somewhere in settings.
