Since I got the R last week I noticed the interior map/reading lights wouldn't switch off when touching the sensors and would randomly switch on and off, then yesterday the audio clicking sound when touching the sensor lights would continuously play even after an engine switch off/on.
From reading other forums it sounds like a defective sensor unit as software upgrades also don't fix the issue so now this has been booked in but a month wait.
VW said they can disable these lights in the meantime in case they remain on and drain the battery!
I asked VW to plan ahead and check up on this issue since no errors are shown and is random so I then avoid having to keep bringing the car back in, but from experience I can't see them being proactive and will likely state they've had no issues with this before.
So far after a week driving the MK8 I am really missing my MK7.5
