That sounds like the collision warning alarm...

Does it just flash up briefly along with a ping noise?

Is it that one?

If it is then its either its detected imminent impact on the road or maybe its a faulty radar unit...

Low oil in the reservoir? or loose wires to the cap?

Golf mk7 / Warning light,
« Last post by doberman19 on 26 June 2025, 09:30 »
Hi to all, I have recently moved from my eight year ownership of my beloved mk6 GTI
to a MK7.5 pp, I have been searching for an answer to my issue but as yet no solution.
The issue is a large red BRAKE warning that comes from nowhere whilst driving, it stays
on for about ten seconds and then disappears, it only happen occasionally and
 I'm fairly sure its not a brake pad warning light, it doesn't effect the driving at all but its
 just a little concerning, thanks in advance. doberman.

The piggy bank could be getting cracked open again already then Sharpe!
I can think of worse things to invest in!
I’ve always been a massive RS3 admirer.

I saw an immaculate black 8.5 GTI pass me the other day as I was wandering through a local holiday park, it immediately reminded me of you!

Good decision on the white, I saw a FL Leon in white and it suited the car really well. Not that I’m biased.
I’m looking forward to reading how the car drives compared to your string of 2.0 hatches when it eventually arrives.

Also, is the steering wheel slightly different where it says GTI 50? Or am I imagining that??

yes, darker. I'd leave the red stitching though. Darker looks cooler. The standard silver one looks cheap after haptic buttons.

I agree about darker, but I’d take the normal buttons on my 8.5 over the haptics that were on my 8 any day.

Yeah, definitely slightly different. No red trim and "GTI 50" instead of "GTI". The badge plate looks a little wider to accommodate it.
Personally I prefer the silver/red trim on the standard car.

Yes I thought it was wider too, it surprises me that VW went to the trouble of doing that instead of just using a ‘50’ in the original narrower spoke.

An interesting read. I changed from a Mk8.5 GTI to to an A5 avant 3 months back. I do miss the speed of the GTi and keep looking at RS3s. The very strong residuals are a big selling point as I guess this will be the final ‘performance’ petrol car Audi do. Motorway are currently estimating about a grand more than I actually paid after PCP discounts for my A5. Which is what is feeding these sill ideas of changing after a few months
