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:
So the latest over-air software update (taken this wk) in my 8.5 GTI 265 has brought with it a welcome new 'sticky key' for the speed limit warning which now sits on top of the main screen permanently (meaning I no longer have to go into the subscreen to switch it off every time I start the car). Winner.
The catch is, there still isn't one for lane assist...
Look at the T&Cs it does say if you're warranty or extended warranty has lapsed within 30 days then you can't make a claim within the next thirty days. So maybe take it out then claim after 30 days, or maybe a bit more to avoid any hassle.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.
