Golf mk8 / Auto braking when reversing
« Last post by Monkeymagik on 29 June 2025, 08:56 »
Hi all, is there any way to reduce the sensitivity of the automatic braking when reversing. Issue I have is when reversing down my drive, passing traffic on the road sets off the warning beeps etc which is fine, however now and again it will slam the brakes on, even though I’m literally going at 2 mph and still about 10 feet from the road. Just feels very over sensitive to me. Have looked the infotainment system and can’t see anything to adjust. Any help appreciated.

Yes, they do fill the arches better than stock.

I'm running 225/40/18 as I've read Michelin tests this size on 8J rims as well.

Thank you. Helpful. Seeing them on your car, while they look great, I actually think I prefer the Belvedere. But the offset looks better on the HLTs. What size tyres do you have on them?

After a productive tip run in the Golf and some lunch it was time to pop to my parents. Unfortunately the journey was fraught as the temp gauge didn't move and I have an engine management light now on.

I do not have a reader but I am hoping it is a senser issue as the car appears to be running ok and is only showing a stop start fault.

The car is lumpy on start up too so I will book it in with my local indy on Monday.

I'm running the HLTs at present but recently bought the Belvederes which will relegate them to winter duty.

Golf mk8 / Re: Have you ordered an 8.5 ?
« Last post by SRGTD on 27 June 2025, 23:23 »
Hi All,

I ordered a car end of may which has been scheduled for build 02/07. Been 7 years since I bought and just wondering there is any way to track it through the build like the old online web page?
Or is it all via email these days?

The car is pure white Clubsport with DCC and queenstown alloys.

VW no longer have an online tracker, so I’m assuming customers are reliant on updates from their dealer.

Hi Lee,

I fitted the inlet cover but not the seat storage. If you were interested in the drawers I would be willing to sell them.

Please let me know, cheers

Ive been with Aviva since i bought the car from new in 2019, currently £390.95.  Always been good to deal/haggle with.

I moved back to Aviva this year after being with LV for four years. I’ve been insured with Aviva before and when I was unfortunate enough to need to use their claims service in the past they were excellent.

This year for me, Aviva’s price was around 16% less than LV’s renewal price on a like for like basis.
