My Golf has been a disaster in the 19 months I've owned it and I will be getting rid of it in the next few weeks. The trim plastics in my wife's fiat 500 don't creak when touched or prodded and her doors don't require an expensive treatment of Krytox oil to silence the doors Rubbing against the...
Since the cold weather has arrived with the snow and ice I am regularly alerted to a long list of reports of various driving aids unavailable sometimes upto 7 different warnings on the go. But the worst fault I've had is twice the emergency brake has activated while manoeuvring in car parks for...
My Golf's nav likes to take me off the A1 and tell me to rejoin it straight away for no reason at various points up and down the country but I'm not sure if it's software or hardware related.
Just returned back from a 600 mile round trip and out of curiosity I used the cars sat nav to see if its improved any but alas it still wants to take me off the motorway only for it to try and send me straight over the roundabout and straight back down the slip road Road to rejoin the same...
Not had a problem with the windows steaming up yet but I have had the rear doors full up with an alarming amount of rain water after a heavy shower that escapes like a running tap only when they are opened. I know it's a long standing design flaw but they really should have corrected it for the...
Thanks for the reply I'll be ordering some of the Krytox even though it's expensive it will be worth it if it works as well as its meant to, the last car I owned with doors rubbing against the body this bad was a 1995 Citroen Xantia!
Which Krytox oil is used for the door seals? I need to get some for mine as all 4 doors are creaking against the body shell now. All the rest of the creaks have been fixed by the dealer now including a new centre console to fix a buzzing pop out cup holder.
I thought mine was on a 2 year/long life service plan because of the built in service schedule countdown on the car dashboard until I booked it in for its 1st service this August (at 2 years old) the dealer has now either switched it to a 1 year service plan without asking me or it was meant to...
I declined my "Air con service" from my dealer as I felt the additional £140 they were asking on top of the £287 for my cars first 2 year service was daylight robbery for what is basically a regas which can be done for £60 anywhere else.
Mine used to do it regardless of phone being plugged in, for a spell it used to do it every journey I made and other times when it rebooted it could take upto 20 mins for the climate control to start working again, but all good since the update from 1664 to 1896.
Yes vw still has a lot of work in this area to correct mine picks up wrong speed limits going down motorways it will drop to 30 from 70 because it thinks you should be going up the slip road. Also the inbuilt sat nav will insist on taking me off the motorway up the slip road and straight back...
Just wish they would provide more info as to what's being improved, I've had the driver settings now being changed a few times now but it never tells you what driver settings.
