Update on known faults I’m having knocking/rattle noise they couldn’t find anything (but since I’ve got it back weds no noise) keyless entry needs a new part so it’s on order wireless charging needs new part which again is on order software update completed so now climate for now anyway is working. But Thursday on way to work infotainment said need update go figure  :whistle . But on the plus side ITS FRIDAY…!! and I got the Pretoria’s fitted today so not all bad . First pic software car came with second new software and third is a quick pic of car with prets






Love the car mate and the wheels look spot on against the grey.

Quick question on the wireless charger. What issue were you having for them to take a look at it? I have an issue that others have mention in the forum in that my phone gets boiling hot and it hardly puts any charge on it. To be honest I have stopped using it and plug it into the USC port.

I had the problem phone got hot but main thing was sometimes it charged but 90% it wouldn’t, hope that helps pal

It does mate. Thank you. Mine hasn’t stopped charging yet but surely it shouldn’t be making the phone get so hot.
Current car: Manual MK8 GTI 245, Deep black pearl.

Wireless charging making it hot is common across not just the mk8. It gets even worse if you are running nav from the phone on aa/acp. Can even get so hot the phone shuts down.

It's probably a useless piece of tech. Plug it in...

Not sure if this has been picked up yet...

Many of Volkswizard's CS faults are mirroring what I've seen on here, unfortunately he doesn't seem to have a positive message at the end.

Yup common faults he's talking about.

Very common and no real sense of resolution either...

Even with all these faults I’m still glad I’ve swapped my mk7.5 gti for it ( for now anyway)

At a second attempt I watched the Volkswizard vid earlier (fell asleep first time round!).

Mine doesn’t seem to suffer quite the same issues as Andrew’s generally but the rear parking sensors do play up on occasion if I’ve had the rear of the car parked in the shade. Strange but true.
To be honest I’ve never tried using either the nav or cruise control in seven months of ownership as I’ve had no use for it, so mine could be buggy as buggery and I’d be none the wiser.

My interior was initially rattle free but lately a few have materialised.
One in the door panel when it’s hot outside, and more recently an irritating rattle from somewhere around the dash pod or driver’s side lower air vent. Drives me nuts. I’ll get that looked at when it has its first service or if it needs going in for something else beforehand.

But I didn’t buy the car for its electric gimmicks, so I don’t take too much issue with the buttonless buttons (having said that, the UI is substandard and also having watched Tom Ford review/preview the Polestar Precept, that’s the sort of interior and UI we should be getting in this day and age of carbon neutrality attempts). I do quite like the minimalist Mk8 dashboard architecture but it’s how it actually drives that bowls me over.
For a factory standard chassis in a humble Golf this thing handles amazingly well, and the engine pulls impressively too. I was pretty sceptical prior to taking delivery of it but it really delivers the goods.
It’s a superb driving tool.
I love mine.
Short of a lottery win I can’t think of anything else I’d rather own right now.

So update on problems
Cars booked in for another update in 2 weeks also been told to fix keyless entry problem they will need to replace handle so will need car for 2 days in case it needs to go to bodyshop they are also going to look at the rattle/noise again. I’ve had the car 2 weeks today it’s had 2 updates already and a third on the way it’s spending more time at VW than with me  :shocked:

I think mine needs the door handle antenna unit replacing too.

It unlocks most of the time from a rear approach but not from the front or side...
