First off, sorry to hijack someone else's thread but i've a similar problem so thought it made sense to post here.
I have a 71 plate GTI from new. After about one year of ownership i started to get the dreaded pings and bongs for the travel and emergency assist alarms. They are intermittent (and random) but the frequency has increased to the point where it happens on most journeys and often many times. I am losing the will to live with it!
My car was recently in for a service and recall fix at my local VW dealership. I asked them to look at it hoping that it might be covered under warranty with the steering wheel fix but they said when they ran the diagnostics it didn't return the correct fault code for them to make a warranty claim for the steering wheel fix. They said it was due to loss of connection or could even be condensation

The garage in question were quite dismissive and almost a little rude. I've bought 5 VWs from this garage over 15 years including 4 mks of golf so really expected to be treated a little better.
I've now made a formal complaint to VW but I still don't seem to be any closer to getting a resolution. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or advice if they have been in a similar scenario? I'm so close to breaking point with it I've started looking at getting something else but i'm paranoid if they test drove my car at trade in they would reject it!
Thanks.
