Forgot to say in my previous post above, this can be disabled which I did in my Clubsport after the brakes slammed on and seatbelts tensioned as I was reversing very gingerly into a supermarket parking bay causing back and neck pain. The trigger for this was a couple of people wandering between parked cars a significant distance away in another row of cars and the row I was parking in was almost empty of cars (and pedestrians).
I can’t remember the exact settings on the mk8 but I was just reminded of it reversing my car into the garage amongst all the junk with parking sensors screaming away!

Anyway, it’s labelled as Manoeuvre Braking:

 

that's nice to hear, i remember playing with this in my mk7, but i don't think i have changed the setting in my current car.  I'll give it a go, i assume disabling this means i could just exit my driveway and even if i direct my car towards my wall intentionally just for the fun of it, it won't slam the brakes, that right?

I have ordered one yesterday. The salesman called me today saying that the predicted production week is 13 or 14.

The bongs are back (sos, travleasist l, ect) happens just like thay used to , anyone know if a replaced part has individual warranty and if so how long for and failing that how much is this going to cost to assuming ££££, also had the puddle lights fail one replaced a year or 2 ago then the others just gone. 21 reg mk8

Any help is appreciated

Parts that have been replaced under the 3 year Factory Warranty are covered for the remainder of the Factory Warranty; they don’t have an individual warranty.

This is from the Factory Warranty terms and conditions;

Replacement parts warranty
All Volkswagen Original replacement parts carry a parts warranty for a period of 2 years/unlimited mileage, from the date of purchase. Items with warranties in excess of 2 years will be advised to you at the time of purchase. The 2 year parts warranty does not apply to parts fitted under the terms of the vehicle warranty, which are warranted for the remaining period of the vehicle warranty. Fair wear and tear items covered by replacement parts warranty are subject to the same limitations as for new cars as detailed above.

Thanks for the information,  would you know if I manage to get the extended warranty then say in a few weeks put them thought a warranty claim would that work or not I know it's a little dodgy

i hear all of you, i do have plants one side of my driveway, and it does happen when i reverse in a straight line (which is the only way for me to exit my garage). Do try to keep a light pressure on the pedal but does not always do the trick.  Silencing the constant beeping sound gives me a bit more peace, not thinking that I'll bang into a wall, but the brakes do seem to have a mind of their own and do their thing anyway when they feel like it. I too had a scare the other day with a pedestrian crossing the street out of nowhere, even tho i was simply cruising at something like 5mph the front assist came to the rescue.
