Recently my heated seat won’t turn on automatically as it did in the past in cold weather from the climate control program setting that configures it in the settings for cold weather heated steering wheel does but not seat I’ve reset it in the menu a few times but when I start car remotely in cold weather seat doesn't come …but it did for the first months since new then just stopped
Little afraid to bring it to the dealer as to who knows what they would do
No issues in 6000 miles other than having to reboot screen 3-4 times to bring up car play or Sirius but that’s not uncommon on these rolling IPads we drive But I friggen Love this car it is such a driver’s machine l m constantly dreaming up reasons to drive it 6000 miles in 4 months
Any ideas on the seat issue?
TIA

Sorry, no idea on the seats issue but with you on the driving, done similar mileage too

Do those printed labels last in the engine bay? I think they are printed by thermal transfer and I thought they might fade or turn black in the heat of the engine bay.

Boys and girls, the alcantara steering wheel is on the UK menu now...

I would like to think I had a significantly contribution on this decision by VW UK by repeatedly contacting VW customer service and telling them to log a formal request to the VW UK Product Team. Repeatedly

Many thanks to all the posters, your insight and knowledge is very useful

Noticed this is also available on the R now, was this always the case?

Wow, that is shocking!!

Well, since I asked the question, I remembered that I still had a bottle of silver touch-up paint (from my previous reflex-silver MK8), and I dabbed a tiny bit of that onto the trim... and its 95% fine now tbh!

You'd definitely need to be looking hard for it to spot it, so I don't think I'll be asking the dealers to rip the dashboard asunder to replace it.

I also think I may have caused the problem in the first place. I didn't have the car long when I realised that if you remove the rubber mat from that cubby, then your phone fits much better and charges more reliably. But, I believe there's always air blowing from that cubby (to cool the phone) and I'm thinking maybe that stream of air caused the paint on that strip to lift a bit. Just a theory... I've refitted the rubber mat now anyway.
