Finally picked up my ED50 from the detailer, I love it. Taking it easy for the first 1000miles or so though, but can defo feel its potential.

One question I have. When the ignition is on but not the engine, I get an amber warning indication come up after about 15 seconds saying the 12V battery is being discharged, please start the engine. Is this normal? I’ve asked the dealer and they said it’s normal as it’s just telling you it’s running off the battery. It kinda makes sense but I’m also always paranoid about these things. Any other 8.5 owners get this message?

Also couple of drives a feel like the car rumbles along abit on the DCC, almost like driving over micro bumps if that makes sense. I need to test it a bit more though cos it’s not all the time.

I ordered end of Jan/Earky Feb and didn't receive a build week until March 19th, so I wouldn't be too
Concerned as of yet Joe. That's semi-slick discount also worked a treat, an update had been sent from Hq for all ordered and I can see configurator now reflects this. Good work by yourself.

Ah good to know, thanks! It's unusual though, as I've bought quite a few new VW's and I'd usually have a BW within a couple of weeks.

Yeah, great to get that tyres query sorted alright. I'm honestly not sure it would ever have been corrected only for me (and possibly 1-2 other people) queried it.

Had her first bath this morning

Looks great, and great reflections in the Moss Green paintwork .

However, I was more drawn to the mk4 R32 in the post - reply #8 - by @Barrym381 above yours (apologies!). The first VW I owned was a Deep Black Pearl mk4 Golf (sadly, not an R32) that I have very fond memories of. It wasn’t the most dynamic car to drive, but the build quality felt top notch and quite premium compared to the competition in it’s day.

I've just bought some michelin ps4s tyres to replace the hankooks it came with,
I'm thinking of fitting front strut brace and some other under side braces
I have a 2023 clubsport
