Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 first press release

Just off the phone once again and they have admitted they were wrong semi slick tyres come as standard  in the performance pack but I can’t opt out of not having them
 Not a problem as I’ll be taking the maintenance plus package and tyres out so you will be paying for them anyway
 Irish man why don’t you just buy one over here be allot cheaper for you

I replaced my tank a few years back, it’s plain with no reference to coolant type.

I would have thought any Mk8 might have have been filled from the factory with G12 Evo so their coolant tank should have something up to date on them although I suspect they might just be plain.

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 :smiley:

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.

I don’t know the answer, but I have a small cheap label printer and when I changed to G12evo I made a sticker to go over the top of the G13 one 👍🏻

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 :grin: :grin: :grin:

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?

stating the obvious, maybe sensors won't read minimum temperature threshold in order to activate the heated elements?
