Golf mk8 / Re: Gti 8.5
« Last post by agentutah on 06 March 2026, 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!

« Last post by Paul70 on 06 March 2026, 13:24 »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.

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.

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
