    Paint protection.

    Yes, agree, it will be more expensive than the dealership, but the hope is that it will be a more professional job, especially if you can find somebody local with recommendation or you can see what they have previously done. My car was away for 2 days whilst coated and cured, and in an...

    Paint protection.

    I would find a local detailer and see what they offer, maybe look at getting a ceramic coating done. Anything done by a professional detailer is going to be miles better than what the dealership does, which is usually just the guy who washes the car using a different product. I did get a...

    Infotainment Hardware and Software Updates

    It’s frustrating the car industry persists with this whole, “we’ll only fix if it’s broken” mentality. With most other industries, firmware updates and software upgrades are encouraged, as it fixes issues or provides improvements. Who is to say that there may be an issue in 1941, fixed in...

    Infotainment Hardware and Software Updates

    Still waiting for 1969 to drop over the air in the UK. Received 1941 ages ago, so I know the process works, but had nothing for 1969 even though it has been out for a while now.

    Infotainment Hardware and Software Updates

    @PanEuropean, US Model vs. RoW models? on that website (for the UK at least) it lists the head units you have shared as "From 2017", whilst the Mk8 head units are listed as "From 2020". @Paul_W, 1941 is the latest available OTA, there should be another update coming out soon, some people have...

    Leaking boot golf mk8

    Mine is going into the dealers in a couple of weeks for water ingress into boot, covered under warranty. Discovered a leak when washing, don't usually look under the boot floor, but my rear window had completely condensed up one morning, so lifted the boot floor and found a puddle. Thinking back...

    How do you remove the millages?

    As TexasChris has said, and turned on using the top-right button on the left-hand side steering wheel controls.

    How do you remove the millages?

    Turning on ACC turns off the odometer display, as it is replaced with speed and other ACC information. Edit: as mentioned in a previous comment. Note-to-self: read all comments before replying 🙄

    Travel Assist - Assisted Lane changing

    In my manual dated Nov 2022, under “Using assisted lane changing” it states; “Assisted lane changing uses the same sensors as the lane change system (Side Assist) and the parking systems.” So it all depends on the definition of ‘parking systems’? In my mind it means the systems used in parking...

    Travel Assist - Assisted Lane changing

    From what I can gather when I was researching the same topic is that you need Park Assist to be fitted to allow the Assisted Lane Change. The car needs the extra 4 sensors to give it a 360 deg view of what is around the car to ensure the lane is clear. The manual is not very clear but it does...

    Mk8 Orders

    Check out Autotrader, there is only one currently on there in Blackburn that is high spec. Whether it is still available is another question.

    Dumb question - How much AD blue do I need and can I buy any versions?

    Where it displays the miles left in the instrument cluster (for AdBlue) it should also give a range of litres to fill it back up, that will give you an indication of how much to buy. The manual should also state how big the AdBlue tank is, on my previous Passat it was 13 litres, so again another...

    Mk8 Orders

    Good news, just for information, mine took a month to get from leaving the factory (Beginning of May) to actually being released for shipping at the port in Germany, and then another 2 weeks to arrive in the UK (notified it was in the UK Mid-June), and then the delay getting it from the port to...

    Mk8 Orders

    Ordered a GTD in November 2021 as well, and the dates keep being pushed out. I have also thought about cancelling, And seeing new GTD’s available on Autotrader has almost made me cancel my order and buy one that is already here. But for me it keeps coming back to the price, I got a good deal...

    Mk8 Orders

    An update on my Golf GTD order, extras added are rear view camera and winter pack. Ordered in November 2021. I’ve received regular unconfirmed build dates from my dealer, but it kept being pushed back and back. The last I heard was build in January 2023, which I had high hopes for as that would...

    Interior monitoring

    All, have a look in the manual under the SAFELOCK heading and it explains all. Deactivating Safelock by using the remote, also deactivates the interior monitoring and anti-tow alarm.
