Fingers crossed, let us know how you get on.

Hi,
The adaptor turned up today but fails to connect, it does try but then cancels itself.
I connected my phone to my daughter's 2019 Audi Q3 to see if it worked via a cable and it did. I then tried using the adaptor but it failed again.
My daughter has an iphone that won't connect to her car with a cable (I don't know why) so tried the adaptor on hers. I thought it was connecting but it was my phone that connected !!!!!
I turned my phone off and got her phone to work with the adaptor too. So it seems like my 2016 Golf GTD won't connect to the adaptor so I lose and my daughter wins a new present :-(

Golf mk8 / Anyone know how to buy dipstick mk8.5 gti
« Last post by Skyered on Today at 19:05 »
Hello, first post so be kind! So the mk8.5 does not come with an oil dipstick even though it has the necessary pipe with a "dummy" yellow dipstick. Yes the car now has a sensor and I can see the level on the display but being old fashioned i miss the dipstick...anyone fitted one? Don't want to go down the aftermarket route as they seem expensive. Thx

The ones on my previous Mk8 were also replaced under warranty, if you’re still within the warranty period they are covered.


Out of 3 years and into the extended warranty now so will see what they say not holding out much hope but will see how it goes.

Just had an email from the dealer to say that the car is on the boat! Not sure how long that means left to wait but its nearly in the country at last.

Good to hear its on its way and wont be too long now. 👍
I received a phonecall yesterday to say mine is still lying at Emden and now think it will be mid/late April before collection.

Roughly 10 days in my experience.

Mine were replaced under warranty at the end of Feb. Don't let them fob you off.
