Things I discovered about my GTD

[Dave the Cat]

I have recently discovered that i can increase adaptive cruise control by single 1 mph increments by tapping the RES and SET buttons instead of using the +/- buttons which does it in 5mph increments 

Probably in the manual, which as a bloke i have no intention of reading

[Dave the Cat]

Also worked out what this little flap is for inside the boot lid

Thanks for the ACC tip, oh and where is the warning triangle?

[Mark V GTD]

Its in the red container which is stored in the recess in the boot lid as per the pictures 

[Mohsin]

But not everyone has one of them as standard - think it was an extra??

[Dave the Cat]

Thanks Damo, I had the emergency triangle from a previous lease car

The golf did not come with one as standard which is in my view either cost cutting or optimistic!

I would rather carry it in any case

I've discovered that my GTD only likes to run on part power until fully warmed up, which is slightly annoying as it feels like i'm driving a 2.0TDI 140 not a 184hp torque machine! It can also be deceptive, cos when you go to put your foot down it doesn't respond as expected

I think they all do it – had me convinced that my GTD was only putting out about 160PS as it is noticeably slower than my 170TDI Scirocco when cold.

I discovered that if I select nav on the Multi Function Display then select up or down on the steering wheel it gives me the last few destinations to choose from.

Thanks for the ACC tip. I had been increasing the speed by the + - then selecting "Set"  to get speeds between 0s and 5s

The thing is monkey, my engine temp can be normal (c.90c) but if the oil temp isn't up to temp (taken from the MFD) then it's still sluggish. Does it still do this with the DTUK box?
