The Australian site doesn’t seem to update when a recall / service campaign has been done. Try this site which does seem to update: https://www.dieteren.be/en/recall/?fbclid=IwAR0DYJ9kfm1cD7n77t1j8fGMI1uCT3i9prL2IxyIY9soYB8R67t_A-rRCRg

Our Mk8 Style was exhibiting the ‘lane assist / travel assist not available’ error from October / November 2020. After asking the dealer about rejecting (the car was only 5 months old) they took it in to try to fix it in December 2020. But they were completely flummoxed, and it was only in...

When our’s was replaced in early 2021, I naively thought the new one was an improved design. Obviously not…. A year later and the same warnings.

Go to the last destinations tab on the Satnav screen. Any that you no longer require, swipe left and then press the bin icon.

But at least the complaints about the manual bonnet strut (which is only used two or three times a year) seem to have died down….

I wonder if we’re confusing two different things: (a) the right to withdraw completely from the agreement within 14 days; and (b) the right to terminate the agreement after 14 days and pay a settlement figure. I’ve done (b) a couple of times after about a month. There was no penalty and the...

Yes, my hardware version changed from H56 to H58. Full story here: https://www.golfmk8.com/forums/index.php?threads/infotainment-hardware-and-software-updates.391952/post-7917140

My experience may be of interest to those experiencing repeated re-boots. Post in thread 'Infotainment Hardware and Software Updates' https://www.golfmk8.com/forums/index.php?threads/infotainment-hardware-and-software-updates.391952/post-7917140

Exactly like post #1 in that thread.

A few days ago the Golf threw a series of warning messages (emergency call limited visit workshop / manoeuvre braking not available / park distance control not available / dynamic road sign not available); the status light on the overhead console went red instead of green; and the infotainment...

Thanks!

Feeling pleased with myself..... For the past few months there's been an annoying rattle which seemed to come from the glovebox. No amount of opening the glovebox, rearranging its contents or emptying it cured the rattle. Today, I discovered the (flimsy) plastic finishing piece at the end of...

@Massimo 2323 Do you think OUF1 will come over-the-air (if so, it seems strange that it’s listed as a service campaign?), or is it maybe another workshop update to enable future OTA updates?

in the climate screen, you can tap auto and select fan speed as low / medium / high. I tend to set mine at high during the winter months to prevent misting.

it is an issue with the sensor on the steering wheel that detects the presence of the driver’s hand. This is necessary to: (a) ensure that the car is not being driven ‘hands- free’ (travel assist); and (b) is part of the emergency assist system which, if it detects no steering input, attempts...

I’ve had a few instances of ‘travel assist / emergency assist not available‘ since having the steering wheel replaced in January 2021. Not enough to be annoying, and nowhere near as frequent as before. Even though yours is out of warranty, take it back to the dealer. If they observe it...

Have checked the invoice. At the time of ordering (spring 2020) it was actually only £199 inc VAT for 2 services.

I think many people bought the 2 year service plan - can’t remember exactly but around £270 for two consecutive services? So they’ll be using a main dealer.

This is a known problem, at least on the Golf Mk 7 / 7.5. Water gets in where the door speaker is mounted on the door card. We had this repaired by VW as a goodwill gesture when we discovered it on our previous Mk7.5 shortly after the expiry of the 3 year warranty.

Having driven around 60 miles today, here are the differences and changes I’ve noticed after the 91CU and 90S8 updates: - Some improvement in screen responsiveness, most noticeable in shorter time for navigation to boot up - Reversing camera image stable - no fuzziness, noise or flickering as...
