Avon calling!

I’ll whisper this very quietly in case the car is listening:

I’ve not had a single bong for nearly two weeks now

I've worked out this Friday puzzle, you're on holiday.

Yesterday, bong central again.

Its nearly always Emergency Assist (ie SOS) and Travel Assist thats throwing errors.

In pretty much the same places each day.

Both of those depend on the GPS signal, I wonder if thats the cause?

Ok, yesterday....jeezus!

I had a thought, I wondered if it was due to interference from something I was following.... and first the car in front of me turned off... nope not that.... then the next car turned off a few roads later and lo and behold, it stopped.

Its definitely some sort of signal/electrical interference causing it, but I suspect the answer is to make the system report less problems - because as fast as the light goes on, it goes off. Its fleeting.

I know it’s not a MK8, but weirdly my SOS flashed up today for a nanosecond, no bongs though.

Got me! I’m actually laid on a beach in the Bahamas and my car is tucked up safely at Gatwick…


I bloomin’ wish!!

Nope, still slaving away at the coal face here in Blighty.

I am actually lying in the sun in the Canaries! No idea what my car’s doing! I don’t care.

You must have watched the remake you’re too young to have seen the original. I had thought of using We Connect earlier to sound the alarm/horn off.😂😂👍

Finally an update.
After a couple of bongless weeks they came back with a vengeance on Sunday which was fortunate timing as I was booked into VW today.

After a couple of hours driving a gutless bucket of jelly in the form of a Diesel Tiguan DSG loan car it was soooo nice to be back at the helm of the GTI which suddenly felt so taut, responsive and quick!

And next time someone starts criticising the interior of the mk8 I can categorically say the mk7 era cars actually aren’t all that either. Some of the plastics on the Tig are definitely low rent.

Anyhow, the diagnosis was as expected - new steering wheel on order.

Did the Tiguan bong though
