    "First thing was to remove the plastic up from the wheels."

    Is this some new mod that I don't know about ?

    If your battery was fully charged when you fitted it then 12.5V might be just the BMS doing it's thing (leaving some room for charging on the over-run). If it moves to 13.3V after a short while...

    I've read several reports of issues with corrosion in the memory switch on the side of the seat, but their problems seemed different to your issue.

    I have a very vague recollection reading somewhere that this is something to do with memory seats. Maybe if you can switch off memory for the seat somehow it would stay where you left it. Or maybe...

    G'day Don,

    I don't think it is a memory issue, simply that all lead acid batteries (of any kind) last better if kept fully charged. The problem with the newer VW EMS/BMS strategy is that it...

    Unfortunately recent (Mk7 and later) Golfs don't fully charge the main battery (VW trying to get the best possible "official" CO2 and fuel consumption figures). The end result is that batteries...

    I gave up on VW dealer servicing as they were always doing things and replacing parts that weren't due yet. Some things are time related, others are distance related, but my VW dealer ignored that...

    Sorry to hear you are having trouble, but at 8 years from new you would be lucky to get any help from VW Australia. I suppose it won't hurt to ask though.

    Like Lucas most of the "crank walk" issues I have read were for Mk7/7.5 cars with a manual transmission, but IIRC (but I might be remembering incorrectly) most were cars that had aftermarket clutches...

    Congrats on your choice, IMO these are an excellent all-rounder.

    Have you tried any wreckers ? AFAIK the std Golf wagon covers will probably be the same as the R wagon covers. Also did you know...

    It's normal when you have it switched on (even if that wasn't your intention). The switches above the rear view mirror can be a bit confusing (tricked me once). Have a fiddle with them and you...

    I've read that is easier with the engine warm (but be careful not to burn yourself). IIRC there is a special tool for pulling the coils off the spark plugs.

    Answer: Yes, it is perfectly safe, the TCU controlling DSG gear changes will prevent you from doing a "money shift", and it will also change up to stop you over-revving the engine in too low a gear,...

    No I haven't had the recall done on my R. I have read several reports that warranty has been refused for some cars with tunes (ECU & TCU). I have Auto stop/start coded off and am hoping that will...

    Some of the early MY18 Rs had an issue with a faulty aux pump in the DSG. There was an official "campaign/recall" which sometimes ended up with a complete replacement DSG.

    Try fiddling with the light switches behind the interior rear view mirror, that should switch them off.

    I put ATE low dust ceramic pads on my Mk7.5 R from (almost) new.

    No noise at all, ever.

    They have less initial grab than the OEM pads, but as soon as you push a bit harder they do grip quite...

    Unless you run the car for over 200,000 km with no wear issues it is difficult to be certain either way.

    If you change cars at 100,000 km you are unlikely to notice a difference, unless you do...
