Golf mk8 / Re: Annoying Lane assist
« Last post by JoeGTI on Today at 13:51 »Do you have access to an OBD dongle?
This way you can switch it off or more precisely switch it to remember your last setting which would be OFF.
Every time the car starts then it starts in the off position.
Cannot be done with the 8.5 unfortunately. It's all locked down.
And no, I don't think you can add lane assist to the shortcuts on top either. They did recently add the ability to toggle off the speed-warning bongs to that shortcut list but it requires an infotainment software update (or a new car!) to get it.

Golf mk8 / Annoying Lane assist
« Last post by valentino on Today at 11:15 »When i got my car (8.5 gti) the stop/start was in the favourites on the top line, so can very conveniently switch it off quickly as soon as i start the car.
How do you get the lane assist in to the favourites on the top line so that can be switched off in the same way?
Thanks.

Golf mk7 / Seized rear caliper
« Last post by Sanemancured on Today at 10:36 »I’ve been away for a few days and I set off this morning to get my wheels refurbished. I didn’t get far. My left rear caliper is seized on. What generally causes this? A seized caliper piston?
I’ve ordered a VD500 scanner to retract the EPB and I’ll have a look. Possibly a good clean and new pads and maybe discs. Are the calipers themselves likely to need replacing?
Thank you
Peter
