Morning all,
Well, nearly 40 years after a trip to a local cricket match in a friends Mk1 red GTI, I finally bit the bullet and bought my own - a Mk8 in white. I’m the 2nd owner.
I’m only 10 days into ownership and already encountered software issues and the dreaded bong from something not working - Perhaps I should have visited this forum before buying 🤔😁
The dealer fitted brand new (but unbranded tyres), so looking for replacement recommendations - although I usually go Michelin PS4/5 or Goodyear ASYM.
Other issues encountered so far are as follows:
Climate control not remembering previous setting - although this seems to have resolved itself and it now only doesn’t remember the ‘sync’ setting?
A message every time I start the car saying ‘changing user settings’, this disappears after about a minute.
When unlocking the car the other night (as the main user) all functions/settings were disabled, and I received an email to tell me. After about 5 minutes they all came back. VW customer service says the car thought I was a guest driver 🤷♂️
Driving to work yesterday (in the rain) the car continually bonged, disabling and re-enabling Travel Assist and SOS calling. This worked perfectly in the dry on the way home?
Anyway, other than these issues the car has been fantastic to drive. Hopefully 🤞, the other issues will be resolved - hopefully………
Cheers
Gavin
