Ok, it’s a eTSi 150 Life with 205/55 R16 tyres, UK spec Pete

I have that model - will take a photo today. Pete

Just an update to this. The software changes worked, but I have noticed a couple of things in the subsequent months: I occasionally get the false undertaking issue - perhaps once a month i.e. every 1,000 miles. I still get the false "you are about to hit the car in front" alerts on the dash...

My Life spec UK Golf doesn’t come with it. It wasn‘t shown as standard in the brochure when I ordered it. Pete

Ok, just to add to this, as I have been playing around with the car's settings. The car seems to have 2 scenarios where it stops the engine automatically. 1. Normal stop/start, which can be disabled from the dashboard. 2. It turns the engine off when coasting at almost any speed, and re-starts...

Close to 60 mpg on a UK motorway with a light right foot. 50 mpg on other roads. Pete

Thanks for that. I will have a play and see what happens. I took the car out for a drive today, and all seems fine, and I couldn’t replicate the issue. However, even if I turned Stop/Start off, the car still seems to shut the engine off when ”Coasting” is displayed on the dash i.e. when on...

Ok, got a new issue. Mk8 eTSi 1.5 DSG. Car was fully warmed up after a 50 mile journey. I came up to a junction, slowing down, and then turned left. I didn’t stop rolling but I was down to crawling pace as i did not have priority. Once round the junction I accelerated and nothing happened. The...

Understood thanks. I thought that 9 digit number was a physical part - learn something new every day :) Pete

Just noticed something else. Previously I had “Device part number“ 5H0035820F. I now appear to 5H0035820H. I guess that means I have new hardware too i.e. a new infotainment unit. Pete

Just had my UK Golf software updated. My issues were ACC slowing me down as it thought I was undertaking (when I was actually overtaking), incorrect speed display (110, 90 etc) and lights reverting to driving on the right. I booked it in myself, and referenced TPI 2063230/3 and the fact that...

As the title says, I keep getting logged out of WeConnect on the car at least once a week. The car is used pretty much daily. When it happens, I get a message saying the account hasn’t been used for a long time (which is rubbish), and I have to go though the whole logging in process, with the...

Does anyone have any instructions for adjusting LED headlights please. I know they self adjust on start-up, but I want to change the static position, as they are too low out of the factory (like every new car I have owned). I can see adjusters around the lights under the bonnet, and am happy to...

Agree with all the above. I own a VW T6 Transporter, and am active on the T6 Forum - exactly the same supply issues and confusion. Order a Transporter now, and delivery will be in 2023. Pete

This is precisely why I didn’t reject my Golf. I can live with the issues given all this (and the discount on my lease costs :)). Pete

Mine is much the same. I am focused on getting the cruise control issues sorted first, but will be raising the display slow response with the dealer at some point. Peter

I navigate with Google Maps using Apple CarPlay, but with the voice turned off. Sometimes I get a random voice telling me there is congestion ahead - I assumed it was the VW navigation system doing this. I happens so infrequently, that I can’t be bothered to work out how to turn it off. Pete

Hi, I emailed customerservices@volkswagen.co.uk describing all the issues. I included the details of the interaction with the dealer. They give you a reference number to track this with. Pete

A low or faulty battery can spuriously trigger various faults and warnings. I have seen this on various cars. Normally a decent drive sorts things out, but not if the battery is faulty. You don’t have to get the battery tested by a dealer - various drive-in independents will do it for you, often...
