Has anyone had issues with the dash pinging to the right in red " Pay attention to driving " every time I look towards the mirrors it pings

Collected the R today and it was good to be back driving this amazing car. After two years of driving a Tiguan that I can’t remember a day I enjoy driving. The only thing it was useful for was moving house.

Slims offer this week as prices have gone up on bilt Hamber products. Bilt Hamber auto foam has up by £10 to £28 wow. This week only £18.95 for 5ltrs

right I was informed the Area view was all part of the park assist and distance control as I asked why it wasn't listed.

Having sold my Mk8 R and not knowing what I wanted I ordered a Black Edition Tiguan with extra's like head display that was a disappointment a glass panel that popped up out of the dash not like R's . After waiting 7 months for delivery I knew I'd made the mistake it drank petrol. in 2 years of driving I cant remember ever enjoying the car. So in April I order an R 8.5 didn't go for the Black edition as I don't like whole black wheels had them on the Tiguan they just looked bland.

Got a letter from VW this morning for recall. Heat Protection Mat incorrectly fitted could cause brake fluid reservoir can melt and caused a brake fluid to leak in engine bay, risk of fire. Works to be carried 1 to 5 hours.

Today I received a parcel from VW Harlow. It was an Hamper. The note inside apologising for the delay in waiting for parts. I hadn’t complained or demanded just waited patiently as I knew the demand was high for any vehicle parts. Thank you VW Harlow you’re showing the others how to do it

The air bag centre boss only part not replace.

Finally got the R into VW. had no radio/satnav for a month. Dash fixed complete new steering wheel, surprised just thought it be the central controls. Also an engine cover whoop whoop.

booked in for end of October which was the only available date at the Dealer.

Vehicles first used on 1 April 1985 or later The front windscreen must let at least 75% of light through and the front side windows must let at least 70% of light through. Penalties for having wrongly tinted windows It’s illegal to fit or sell glass (or a vehicle already fitted with glass) that breaks the rules on tinted windows. The police or the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) vehicle examiners use light measuring equipment to measure window tint. If your windscreen or front side windows are tinted too much you could get: a ‘prohibition notice’ stopping you using your vehicle on the road until you have the extra tint removed a penalty notice or court summons

The week I needed infotainment system for the sat nav for going around the Lakes. I get a complete blank screen and no sound, after 4 days final get a screen but no sound still, couldn't reset or connect my phone. VW need to sort the systems out.

If you've place a 50% tint on top of the already tinted Glass of 30%. The Legal limit is 30% which means 70% light must go though the glass anything below that is £100 fine, however 30% and below of allowing light though is class as dangerous condition 3 points on licence. Looking the picture of you're window if a light meter was placed against it was closer to 20% light.

Not been on here for sometime, over the last year I've had a number of issues with the R. I was able to book into VW for August back in June due to driver assist/SOS sounding off every couple of minutes very annoying on a three hour journey back from Yorkshire with no radio, a clicking sound on the nearside suspension at slow speed and steering going stiff on a journey it was like driving with no power. 4 days at VW resulted in new steering wheel and controls needed on back order, clicking was dust cover repositioning and greasing on components. also work on steering and factory reset of systems.

The drama still on going with my supplying dealer, just booked the R in for service with another dealer to find out the 2-year service plan I purchased wasn't on the VW system. After phoning the Dealer I get just bring it in we'll honour the plan. After back and forth I get inform it now on the system. Today I get confirmation however it states 1 oil change and 1 service is the correct.
