I used the one the insurance company told me, its a Vauxhall dealership. I’m pretty sure this tech is in a lot of cars these days, it’s not like they won’t have seen it before.

i Took it back to the repair place & showed them them the fault & they said its not something they can do there, so it’s got to get booked in at some German car specialist. They never calibrated it after they replaced the bumper. I always press the traction control switch when I get in which puts up all the same lights, or I would have noticed at the time, my focus was checking the exterior, don’t know why they thought it was ok to go with faults on it. Thanks for the replies anyway!

I recently ran into an animal on the road which lead to a new headlamp, bumper & wing. Since I got it back a week ago the front parking sensors go off when I’m driving below 10mph when there’s nothing there, they did that occasionally, hardly ever but it did happen, but now it’s most times & today the yellow triangle came up in the combi & front assist thing displayed as not working. I cleaned the badge radar cover & checked the bumper sensors were clear of debris or dirt & didn’t change. Put the obd 11 in & it says “front assist misadjusted” Is this all 1 problem , ie Does the front assist work using the parking sensors with the radar thing combined or is the parking assist & front assist likely 2 separate issues. I dont remember what they were like before the repairs but the parking sensors aren’t flush with the bumper & all 4 are set in a bit, is this how they are meant to be or should they be fully level with the bumper?

Mine are ok but i got dents in the edge of the rim where trying to get into my driveway ive gone up the kerb and the stupid skinny tyre has compressed so flat that the alloy wheel has contacted the kerb stone

I took it to VW and they said they think the roof was repainted, showed a line at the side of the roof and other possible masking marks & if the paint is touched at all then theres no warranty. Guessing theres no way to find out what happened that required the roof to be repainted? Perhaps i should just assume a bird with acid for blood took a dump on it and move on. Will find a decent body shop and see what the suggest.

Im guessing its standard for “almost new” cars but this one was owned by a company for 5 months before i got it, its a tax write off scam isnt it? Car looked spotless to me, how much abuse could a car get in 5 months over 1200 miles? The bodywork should be as new. Reading the warranty claim thread, i have the worn paint on the edge of the drivers door, which i now realise is a common thing for some reason.

I have a service plan at the vw dealer so i have a foot in the door!

I bought it from “Available car” does the warranty still hold at VW? Was made in March 2018.

It had 1200 miles on it when i bought it. I havent had to wash it that much recently with it being summer but i never noticed anything on the roof before and i dont let bird poop sit on the car if i notice it. Will see what the dealership says.

No, the blue paint is flaked off and it looks like grey primer showing

Got a 2018 7.5 Golf R. Was washing it today and saw 2 spots of blistering or something on the roof, anyone identify what it is or if its covered under warranty? Thanks.

I only use normal or race, 24-27mpg mixed driving, 35-36mpg is the best ive seen while having a clear road in 40/50 zones never getting stuck behind sunday drivers or anything where i can hold a constant speed, probably had a freak tail wind helping or something. 😆

Its the tyre, the profile is so low it squashes completely & then the rim takes whatever impact the tyre didnt. if you go from 35 to 40-45profile will this protect the rim better?

Ive found switching between modes to be a head f**k namely because of the steering characteristics changing, when im not watching the road directly in front of me & looking up the road ahead im driving & steering on instinct & i find myself not steering enough or too much & realise im heading for the kerb or going wide. So i leave it on individual or race, could really do with more than one custom setting or leave the steering out of the drive modes & keep to its own seperate setting not adjusted from the drive modes.

Who knows, maybe I ran something over in that junction. Stuck a pirelli tyre on. Inmy experience some of the cheaper tyres are better than the expensive ones & they last longer.....im not track driving it or racing around beating on it so I dont need a super grippy tyre anyway.

They are what comes with the car from new, actual tyres & wheels. The split is in the wall of the tyre not in the tread & there isnt a mark on the alloy wheel. Car has done about 2500 miles from new

Was pulling left out of a T junction sedately on xmas day & heard a noise from the rh rear, 100 meters later dash tells me theres no pressure in rh rr tyre, tyre has a split in the wall from the rim half way up the tyre. Wheel is 100% undamaged & unmarked. Anyone else had issues with these tyres.

Anyone recommend an air drying device/blower? Leaf blowers have no filter so can blast your car with things youd rather not have shot at your car. Got to be better than rubbing towels or whatever over the paint?

I thought it didnt rev as high & has less throttle response in eco mode? Just an aid to help you drive more frugaly?

Can you turn off the “safelock”. Message so it no longer shows up when you turn off the engine?

Just set it to the rh mirror & manually adjust it down & the left will adjust too if you selected it in the menu & adjust it back up after.

I was offered a dash cam when I bought the car that you have to plug in the 12v socket, if they had been selling me an installed hard wired one, i may have considered it more. Feel free to make a step by step idiots guide with photos of your install lol. 😉

I want the parking assistance bleeping, but Idont want it to auto slam on the brakes when it decides the gap is too narrow & I can see its fine, garage openings are generally narrow & require concentration, dont enjoy the car interrupting me. Its not that quick to turn off either, going through a few menus. Could turn off the assist & turn it on once im in to tell me how close the rear bumper is to the wall. How do you view your service history online?

At first my lh mirror adjusted down automatically when i reversed, with the switch turned to L, not anymore & i dont know why. when i reversed into my garage the first time the car suddenly slammed on the brakes, scared the s**t out of me, turned that off in the menu & then a few days later it scared me by doing it again, seemingly turned the option back on. What mpg are you getting on average, if I drive like a grandad I can get 30mpg, sporty driving its around 20 & a mix is 25ish. Is the car meant to come with a service book or do you get it when you first get it serviced? Mine has no book, just the manual, media manual & vw roadside assistance book.

Does that mean the European ones have port injection & di? I know thats the thing Toyota did to solve it.
