Golf mk8 / Re: Gti 8.5
« Last post by agentutah on Today at 18:04 »
Same again today but different place, it seems to be after I have been driving it then stop somewhere and then restart the it!  Anyway this time I got 4 yellow ⚠️ bongs as before. 

⚠️ Error: drive system. Please visit workshop
⚠️ Error: ACC
⚠️ Error: Start/Stop
⚠️ Travel assist currently unavailable

Anyway car runs fine, got home restarted and the errors disappeared.

Called VW anyway and 22nd April before they can book me in.  Probably best if I get it recovered,  honestly!

So I went back this morning and asked the guy at reception if he had a key. Happy to say he was a true enthusiast and gave me a tour of the car.

Very excited to take delivery, hopefully in May.

The seats and steering wheel felt great - VW have done a great job imo.

Unlikely to be your problem if your mileage is relatively low. But the only experience I’ve had of a similar situation is in one of my old Mk6 GTIs, obviously there was not the same warning bongs, but in my case it was the fuel filter (near the tank), which incidentally only appeared to happen at home on my driveway, and only after it had been driven and then tried to start while it was still warm, it would start just fine if I didn’t start it back up straight away, or if it was a cold start in the morning or after work, changed the filter and all was good. I started a thread about it on one of the mk6 forums, but can’t find it right now so I’m struggling to remember the details as it was a while back.

Golf mk4 / Esp light
« Last post by Napalm on 05 March 2026, 23:35 »
Evening folks,
My ESP light comes on within 5-10 minutes of driving, and disappears after i turn engine off
Ive replaced the brake switch, and my computer reads all my abs sensors are running fine, only fault codes im getting are 17911 01314 00779. Has anyone experienced this before. Im at a total loss with this issue and tempted to just live with it

Pressurised the system, it held pressure, figured its probably exhaust side, replaced flexi-turbo gasket, still whistling:(

Where is that? I don't see a steering wheel on the right side... Is that in mainland Europe?

Dropped mine off at the detailers for a full inside and outside clean, decontamination and a basic sealent. Just in time for the saharan dust rain due tomorrow....

It’s Sod’s Law! I cleanse mine and wife’s car today over a few hours and I reckon it’ll look worse after the weekend than when I started  :undecided:
