Golf mk8 / Re: Travel Assit Error - Fix
« Last post by fredgroves on 17 December 2025, 22:39 »Is it just when you start from a cold damp weather? And clears after about five minutes of driving?
Or constant bongs while driving?
If its the former it's condensation on the sensors, which clear with heating elements built into them.
If it's the latter then it sounds like the steering wheel... I've heard they are subject to repeat fails...

Price wise they aren't much more or stick with the OE look?

Golf mk8 / Travel Assit Error - Fix
« Last post by JayPlay on 17 December 2025, 14:57 »Hi guys
Can anyone recommend someone near Wiltshire who can fix the annoying travel assist/SOS errors permanently? Dealer has replaced the steering wheel once, but the errors have now returned, and the car is out of warranty, so the dealer doesn't want to know and wants to charge me for a new steering wheel
TIA
Jay

Golf mk7 how to guides + info / Re: All of golfdave's "How to retro-fit" guides.
« Last post by Rick C on 17 December 2025, 01:13 »Hi Golfdave,
I just want to let you know that your post on the GolfMK7 forum titled "How to retro-fit a bigger capacity battery to a Mk7 Golf" was great and I went through every page! In retro-fitting my 2017 VW SportWagen S with the bigger battery I finally found a source for the larger thermal case on Amazon of all places. For those who are still looking, the link is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXLG45JN?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title, the name of the item is "1Pcs 11 * 6.7 * 7.3in Thermal Battery Insulation Frost Cover for Audi Q3 for VW Golf Bettle Eos for Seat Altea Leon Protection Cover 1K0915411A,5Q0 915 411B" and the price is $15.99. It fits perfectly. Lots of folks seemed to have trouble with the tight fit but I figured out how to do it without any stress or strain. Thanks again!

Golf mk7 / Re: 7.5 performance dsg remap
« Last post by andygo on 16 December 2025, 19:14 »I had an engine ecu remap and the DSG box remap at the same time on my 2019 7.5 performance and wow, the difference is amazing. The gearbox remap makes the shifts in sport mode way quicker and more snappy and I don’t notice any issues with it finding gears in general driving.
The only issue is trying to get the power down in this colder weather with damp roads. It’s often better in normal than sport otherwise it’s spinning the wheels for grip. I also don’t get great mpg in mixed driving but cruising on motorway is alright.
Always tricky getting traction in this weather in most cars with a reasonable amount of grunt to be fair.
How much was the gearbox remap out of interest?
