Mk7.5 Golf - News and Discussion Thread

I think it's by design too but it's a bad design. Holding the gear should start from 1 to 2 not from D to 1.

I have a 162TSI Tiguan as well and with Tiguan difference between normal mode and sport mode is like day and night. It's so much fun to drive in sport mode. With Golf the difference is minimal and sport mode is still sluggish. You find yourself in gear S5 at 50km/h, which is a joke!

I find that S-mode is fine after the sluggish 1st to 2nd. it generally holds S4 up to about 80kmh. Its only D-mode which seems to be in D5 at 50kmh!

Its good that you are happy with it. I guess because I was used to driving the Tiguan my benchmark is high. Try changing to S mode when it’s already in D5 it stays in S5.

I wouldn't say i'm happy with it! lol.. but i'm not upset over it. Would've preferred they used a better DSG unit instead of using software to limit issues/damage. Maybe i should've just got the 110TDI highline? haha

I was happy to buy TDI or GTI but they didn't offer them with 1.8% finance and I bought the highest model offered with 1.8%, which was the fully loaded comfortline.

Anyone getting "Charging slowly" appear on their 'phone when connecting to charge ?

[crainger]

I did on my Pixel XL, but after I installed the Android Auto app and started using the genuine USB-C cable it seems to now charge at standard USB 2.0 speeds. Not quite fast charge though.

Hi guys,

I recently purchased a MK7.5 GTI. Just wondering can HBA be enabled by VCDS. My car does not come with the Drive assistance package.

Cheers

If it doesn't have the front camera, then it cannot be enabled.

Yeah. I don't think you have the front camera or the 7.5 LED headlights required for HBA to work.
