    New 8.5 GTI showcased through press release on I.D 7 - Chat GPT

    “ There will no longer be a manual gearbox on offer, Volkswagen has confirmed. Technical development boss Kai Grünitz said “it didn’t make sense” to do a new manual, as when development of the facelifted car began, there was a lack of clarity about what Euro 7 emissions regulations would look...

    Travel assist and emergency assist errors

Which means they knew about the issue for there to be...

    Mk8 Orders

    I think it depends swell on the spec and tech, I've only had 1 extra which was high beam assist on the R-Line i've ordered. High beam assist is pretty standard on most cars in the UK and I prefer it. I presume you meant BW 9/2024 as you said March 2024. There are rumours going round that...

    Travel assist and emergency assist errors

    Yes, if you can prove they are aware of the fault before manufacturing your vehicle (plenty of evidence on forums out there) so the fault is known but they continue to manufacture therefore they are liable to carry out remedial as per UK Consumer Rights Act.

    Ordered a new Mk8 without Travel assist and Emergency assist, because I couldn't cope with the constant bongs on the Tiguan. It's a well known fault/issue otherwise they wouldn't have a 'remedy' in place. Gutted as I loved my Tiguan but I like the R-line and it came standard on it. Thankfully it...

    Mk8 Orders

    Anyone had any proposed wait times, Ordered a R-Line 2.0 150 DSG in October and was told around May 2024 time!? And is there any news on the 8.5? not sure I like the proposed infotainment screen the same as the new Tiguan, seems a bit big for a golf.
