Yeah, that collision warning means business!
The only time mine has gone off is when I was already lightly braking in anticipation of the car in front turning. Thankfully it doesn’t just hammer the brakes on when it spots a metal bus shelter like my early mk7 did occasionally!!  :shocked:

Speed limit warning had turned itself off again today  :cry:

Its got to be something to do with my "user profile" on the VW server (which remembers all of my settings) - they have either mangled it or forced a change and its not remembering it.

I was stopped for a few hours today and it kept it during that switch off period.

Another outing today, bit of a drive to enjoy the weather.

Think I've got my definitive snag list together, going to see if I can book it in for some troubleshooting this week. Just a few things that are knocking the sugar off my donut.

Today I managed to break the centre console (passenger side) air con vent. I made the mistake of moving it and now it’s inoperable. Top build quality. 🙄

Isn't there an Engineer you can get to fix that? Or is that just hitting it with a hammer?  :whistle:

Fred, I wouldn’t let one of my Sappers within 50 feet of my car. 😂
