    IIRC park assist is incompatible with 4motion.

    We have park assist on the Alltrack, which is also 4motion, but we don't get blind spot monitoring or rear cross traffic alert which are available on the R. We were told that those were incompatible with the cladding - how true that is I'm not sure but it would seem that with the 4motion system, and the way the cars are specced, you may be able to have one but not the other.

    Have all of these on my Rline Tiguan. It may be to keep the overall cost down as when all of these are added in you would be paying the same if not a little less for an audi

    Hey mate ... you'll obviously be hard pressed getting answers from VAG, but the park assist omit is most likely due to the decreased front wheel turn limits imposed by the engineers, in turn resulting from the extra pressure that driven rear wheels place on the front struts.

    You might know the tail light fittings for the wagon are different from the hatch, and the Wolfie Wagon would have been projected to sell in much lower numbers. And so not adapting scrolling lamps to that fitting would be just be a cost saving measure. But re - rear camera guidelines, that's only a software thing I'm sure. Maybe the group is just saving that feature for the Audis.

    Thanks SteveMc, that all does make sense. There will be standard R and R Grid wagons now, I wonder if they'll get dynamic indicators. Either way I'm pretty disappointed I missed out.

    still enjoying it, and as others have pointed out, getting speeding fines is just going to be cost of ownership.

    Couple questions...

    Don’t like how it turns off automatically when I park at home, how do I turn this off?

    Also, it says in the handbook that there is a code on the adaptor to remove the anti theft wheel nuts. Clearly, the code would be important if you lose the adaptor. Where else should I be looking for the code?

    My 7.5 is just over 1 year old now. She is working great. A fraction under 10000km old.
    I gave her a full clean and clay with wax for her birthday. The paint is still in very good nick as it lives inside and vey rarely sees parking under trees...The tank is full, time for a scenic drive.
    How is your 7.5 Wolfsburg going?

    Mine is going well. I'm very happy with it.

    I haven't done much in the way of mechanical mods so far, except for the low dust pads on F & R brakes. This has fixed the typical VAG "dirty wheels" problem, now I need a solution for the black tailpipes (but if that involves never using the available performance I don't want to know ! I'll just keep washing it regularly)

    Mine is coming up for its 1st service shortly, time does indeed fly when you are having fun. This one is going to be a keeper, it's such a versatile car.

    Golf R to Amarok...again

    About 3 years ago I toyed with the idea of swapping the Wunder Wagon for an Amarok so we could buy a second hand camper trailer and go camping more often. I didn’t do it then but a recent health issue has caused some rejigging of priorities in this household.

    My wife has OK’d the camper trailer https://mountaintrailcampers.com.au/...EDX-Review.pdf 😀 and we’re heading off for a couple of months in December.

    Which means I need a tow tug. An Amarok V6 is on its way and therefore the Wolfsburg has to go ☹️

    Anyone interested please see below. Price is negotiable.

    MY 18 Wolfsburg Wagon
    Looking for:- RS4 B7 Avant.
    Current:- Amarok V6 Sportline; Mazda CX-9 Azami AWD
    Previous - Mk 6 R manual; Mk 7 R manual; Passat 130 TDi Wagon. Mk 7.5 Wolfsburg Wagon.
