Avon calling!

There’s a forum member over on the Golf R forum who had the travel assist / SOS issue. They’re now on their third replacement steering wheel because the first two replacements only stopped the bongs for 4-5 months.

Yeah definitely something to do with moving off to quick I get the same or when I do 2-3 short trips when I turn the car off and back on agine in a short time.
Also started to notice like a squeak coming from the passenger side just after moving off , kinda sounds like the wipers do a quick on off but thay don't seam to move ?

If it’s the same as a Mk7.5 that’s normal, moving the wiper blades from park to apparently preserver the blades.

I fitted Bosch on mine a few months ago, all good.

Interesting extra I've found since manually updating to 1941...apart from the fact that it does f... all to stop the bongs.

Tyre pressure loss sensor tells you which tyre has lost pressure.

Previous software was a guessing game whenever the tyre loss pressure light came on.

So I took the car in again this morning to have the front parking sensor error looked at. Turns out it’s not a software fault, there is a minute stone chip on one of the sensors that’s causing the fault. As it’s a stone chip it’s not covered by warranty and will cost £200 to replace the tiny round sensor! I really hate this car.

Most of that will be Labour charge due to removing the bumper, but, it’s a pretty simple process if you’re in any way inclined to do it yourself, depending on which sensor it is exactly, it may even be possible to do it from underneath with the belly pan removed without removing the bumper,
 here’s a link to the sensors you need, there are two types (straight and angled plug) you’d need to know which sensor is faulty to know which one is needed, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334852433979?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lIAG5KNYQFW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=tp2LCNeJSEm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Thanks Carlos but I would cock it up.

Mine was in for diagnostics mid-May and I was told 6wks for a new steering wheel.  That time has come and gone with no contact from the dealer (no courtesy at all) so phoned them up today.  No steering wheel, not even an ETA for a steering wheel. 

These MK8s really are a piece of crap and VW quality and customer service has fallen off a cliff..  No issues at all with my MK7.5.  Wish I had it back.
