It's really annoying sometimes will start up fine no errors but most of the time it will be just binging away at me first thing in the morning.
I'm pretty sure that your error messages are caused by low battery charge, in other words, the voltage on the main battery dropping below approximately 12.2 or 12.1 volts overnight. The evidence that supports this hypothesis is that you have the problems first thing in the morning.
Do you have anything plugged into the convenience outlets (12 volt outlets) or wired into the car that might be creating a parasitic draw on the battery when the car is parked overnight? Examples could include a dashcam that has been wired to terminal 30 (battery) power rather than terminal 15 (ignition switched) power, or perhaps a phone charger that is plugged into a convenience outlet? Sometimes those chargers can draw power even if they are not connected to a phone or other load.
Automobile batteries usually last about 5 to 7 years. If your car is a Golf 8, the original battery should not be at end of life yet, but it is not unheard of for a battery to fail. I had the battery on my Golf 7 replaced (under warranty) when the car was only 3 years old. I don't know how warranties work in your country, but often the battery and the tires are covered by separate warranties provided by their manufacturer.
I suggest you approach troubleshooting this way:
- Do a really careful inspection to make sure nothing is plugged into the convenience or USB outlets overnight, and to confirm that no aftermarket accessories have been installed that draw terminal 30 (battery) power.
- Take the car to your VW dealer and ask them to check the battery. They will have a special tool (a Midtronics battery analyzer) that when connected runs a series of tests on the battery and prints out a report (pass/fail). It provides an objective, not subjective, assessment of the battery.
- Have your dealer (or perhaps a friend who has a VCDS or OBDeleven scan tool run a complete scan on the car. IF you see a lot of faults that contain the word 'communication' or 'databus', that suggests (but does not prove) a low voltage condition is the cause. If you see any faults that contain the words 'low voltage', that proves that low battery voltage is the cause of your problems.
Here's a link to a video that explains how to check for parasitic current draw. Depending on your level of interest and your technical ability, you might want to consider carrying out this test yourself to determine if there is something that is running your battery down overnight.
