    "when the spawn entered the car" - haha. Not heard of this term of affection for a progeny (being an organism resulting from sexual or asexual reproduction).

    hmm...... AFAIK, the brake disk wiping function on a mk7 is linked to the windscreen wipers - the system applies a series of weak brake pulses if the front wipers are ON consistently (rather than just intermittently) and the car is traveling over a threshold speed (70k/hr?)

    I agree - it's probably OK to dismiss brake disc drying as a candidate cause for this problem because "there was no rain" - but not necessarily (the system could be activating incorrectly without the wiper/speed prerequisite)

    Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is on-line, in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the expertise of the wider forum! Thank you.
