Golf mk8 / Re: Adaptive cruise control help?

This was a common issue on early cars, but as far as I recall, software updates fixed it. Not heard it mentioned on a long time now. What year is your car? Do you know which software version you are on currently?

Yes had this problem initially back in 2021 but software updates fixed it.

Does your car not have any updates installed ever?

My car is 2021 and I've never had it reacting to speed limits. I think that is an option, but mine is obviously turned off.  Mine functions as an adaptive cruise very well and I'm good with that.

I'm sure there is an option to react to speed limits but God knows where it is.

Yes, my GTI also has this turned off, the option to do so is located in the assist menu settings, accessed via the shortcut button next to the hazard light switch.



Thanks yes I know you can turn it off on that menu but also on the stalk shortcut however that wouldn't work yesterday.

But usually it works fine reading the speed signs but every now and again it seems to see them as kph not mph and adjusts accordingly which is pretty annoying and sometimes dangerous wondered if there is a dealer fix for this?

4 new tyres.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. 

£640-100 Michelin rebate £540. Pretty good value I think.

Hi Lad,

Went downsizing from the 19x8,5j Bola B1 to the Team Dynamics Pro Race LT 18x8j et40. Couldn't be happier. Better drive without worrying to much abou the bumps and potholes. Driving on eibachs as well and had to put 12mm spacers on the rear for a better flush. Also got 235/40/18 PS5's and they're brilliant.






Here's before with the 19s on 245/35 tyres:
They're for sale btw.
