Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Should be haptic. Was only the steering wheels that were switching back as far as I’m aware. Had the haptic sliders in this car and my previous Tiguan and have no issues with them as I’ve learned where they are with them feeling slightly recessed. Can see how some might not like them though.

Re: My auto lock when I drive off has stopped locking , any ideas ?

My car is a november 2022 facelift gti and has the auto lock function. My wife’s is an august 2022 facelift r line and also has it. It’s been standard on VW cars for ages so sounds more like an issue where it has been taken off yours for some reason.

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

I THINK it’s usb C, however not 100% sure as you can use CarPlay wirelessly in the facelift. Haven’t connected my phone to the car since my gti+.

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

I understand why they did this but, having had the haptic buttons on the wheel for 12 months, I don’t think they’re that bad. Expensive to replace eventually I’m sure, but I won’t keep the car that long.

Re: TPMS

Just be aware temperature changes can have an impact on tpms. Every year when we get to autumn and suddenly have a cold night, my tpms will go off saying the pressure is low and it’ll be barely noticeable. Had this happen on every car I’ve had with Tpms. As a result with this car I check the pressur...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

I have to say, the quality of certain items has decreased. My wife and I have had numerous VWs since before 2013 with all of hers being the various generations on polos. I’ve never had it before where the wipers are completely shot after 12 months with terrible judder and my drivers mat has worn thr...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

I always collect my car with the wrap on but remove it at the dealership with the salesman so I can inspect it. No way I’d trust that bunch of morons they use as “car valeters”. Even the salesman said they use the same water for multiple cars…. Like SRGTD I’ve never had a perfect car but it’s usuall...

I’m same as SRGTD, just part of getting in. Ignition on, start stop off, lane keeping off, start car.

Re: Tyre advice

Tyre places are very much a check reviews job. My nearest Kwik fit is excellent. The one near work is awful. That’s because most tyre places are franchises and owned by the manager of that store.

I certainly wouldn’t use Vw for tyres. Last time they quoted me it was double what Kwik fit charged.

Re: We connect showing a percentage instead of miles on gti

My WeConnect still shows miles. It keeps telling me to download the VW app everytime I log in which is annoying.

Re: Polo gti advice needed

Kings red but I’m bias as that’s my colour and it replaced a faulty reef blue I had :lol: :lol: I did love reef blue and if you go back through the images page you’ll find the photos. However I think kings red looks better now, it’s bright on sunny days and on dull days it takes on almost a dark red...

Re: Vehicle in offline mode

My first blue gti would not connect no matter what. Had to reject it and the replacement seems fine the last ten months.

If it worked before the service I’d give it a day, try a hard reset then call dealer to flag it up.

Re: GPF delete GTI 2023

My understanding is the GPF is like the dpf - it’ll fail MOT without it. You’d also invalidate any warranty you had.

I’m sure someone with more knowledge will be able to provide more information, but that’s my understanding.

Re: admittedly frightening encounter today

Glad to hear you and your wife are ok grazuncle. Unfortunately the standard of driving across the country is declining and the attitude of “it’s not my fault” has spread. It seems to be the standard reaction now that if someone cuts you up they then sweat at you if you react. I blame Tesco for their...

Re: Farewell GTI

Enjoy the new car and sensible purchase. I myself am considering a Lexus for the same reasons.
