....................and the mpg is the same as it was when you left it 8 hours ago, resets just as you move off.


I'm sure mine is the same.

I know you can definitely use the 'old style' not adaptive cruise control. I remember seeing the setting...but can't remember how off the top of my head. I'll post back later on with further info.

The only quirk I had from the mk6 was turning the mirror knob failed to fold out the mirrors occasionally and if you got in and turned the ignition call all too fast it used to bing ESP fault and then clear it.

I have read others having heavy downshifts, so just figured that's normal. The keyless thing is just pants really.

Obviously I have scanned it on multiple occasions no fault codes. If I didn't buy used I would not have ordered keyless at all. There must be others that have had weirdness with the keyless system.

My new GTD does,nt do the needle sweep on every start either?  I'm non keyless btw.
It's something I've been meaning to ask on here for a while as to the reason for this.

Isn't it something that can be set by VCDS? So the fact that it doesn't do the needle sweep is not s defect as such, it just hasn't been set to do it...

There's thread about VCDS things...

It should do it - so if it isn't doing it then it needs rectifying!

Maybe the car was tweaked by the previous owner...

I doubt if the dealer did some kind of factory reset on it - if thats even possible?

I would say mine misses every tenth sweep or something. Not really counted.

i should have made that more clear. the needle sweep works on the car alright, its just that it does,nt sweep every time i start, seems not to bother sometimes. it may not sweep sometimes if the keys are left in the ignition between starts.
i cant seem to find a pattern to it.is it just on first cold start up maybe?
is it definitely meant to sweep on every single start up ? car is brand new btw.
