I see they are releasing a limited edition GTi Clubsport S model with 306bhp. Quicker and obviously lighter than the standard R but heavily track focused.
Sets record lap time round the Nürburgring:

Yes. Very common, happens to loads of them including mine from time to time. You need to reboot it! Press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds and the radio will reboot and the screen will work. It's one of those things that isn't worth the hassle of going back to the dealers with imo, although I might mention it myself next week as I'm getting App Connect activated.
Sorry for the off topic post but you seem to know quite a bit about the radio/media systems.
I've a 152 Octavia vrs and I guess it has a very similar radio/media system to the Golf's.
My system won't hold the long term mileage figures, it just resets it's self back to zero at random intervals.
It's not a big issue but I'd prefer if it kept the long term figure so I was wondering if you'd heard of anything like that happening?
I said it to the garage when it was in for the first service and they performed some sort of software update but the problem persists.
I'd appreciate any help you might be able to offer.

It's not a "bug", it's a feature :pac:
Unfortunately that's just the way it works, it can't be changed. It maxes out and resets back to zero whenever you hit X hours or Y kms (not sure of exact numbers).0 -

Feckit, that's disappointing.
There's a slight discoloration/error in one of the graphics on the "car" page.
Again it's not a big thing but I'd prefer if it wasn't there and tbh I was hoping the long term error was reason enough to have the unit replaced under warranty...

You mean the LCD screen itself has some bad pixels or something? Does it show up on the other screens, like the radio / music playback? If it was annoying me enough I'd ask them to replace it.0 -

I've noticed with the media system screen going blank it does it when asked to do a few things together, like starting the car in reverse which connecting a phone for android auto. It's like it cant process everything and then sh1ts itself.
:pac:
Funny... as a software engineer myself I'm probably a lot more tolerant than most that sometimes you just have to reboot, and that's it's easier to do just that than go looking for the proper fix

Yep. It's beeped and flashed up the red warning for me a few times, the most common scenario it does it for me is: I'm following a car (a reasonable distance behind) and that car either turns left suddenly or pulls into the hard shoulder.
I don't think it's ever prodded the brakes for me... but I suppose at least I know it works.
It saved me running into the back of a fiesta a few weeks ago.
Just back from 20hrs flying and I was driving to my sisters place, lapse of concentration and the fiesta was stopped in front of me....car braked and saved my bacon. I'm 99% sure I would have hit it otherwise 0 -

I typically dont do much mileage, my daily commute is less than 4 miles each way and thats hardly enough to get the car warmed up. With a bit of traffic in the mix the economy has been at about 20 / 22 mpg most of the time so far. Anyway, during the week I had the opportunity to go out for a slightly more decent drive and it was interesting to see the economy practically double. Also I have to say that I am really liking the adaptive cruise control.
Only a bit more than 1,200 KM on the car so far but still thrilled to bits with it....

Audi-style pulsing rear indicators enabled :pac: Worth another 30bhp at least I reckon...
How easy is it to do this Joe?0 -
