Mk7 Golf TSI & TDI - Observations and Questions

[Mattlock]

I opened my glove box in my new Highline for the first time in the dark last night and it was pitch black.

Could someone tell me if there is meant to be a light in the glove box?

Pretty sure there is meant to be one.

I've upgraded from a mk6 gti to a mk7 gti, previously you could pause bluetooth audio through the RNS510 on the steering wheel, left side bottom button. Am I missing a trick here but doesn't seem like you can do it anymore?

It seems you can only pause using the head unit. Which if you are in navigation you need to manually click out, go into audio then click pause.

Not too mention the removal of internal hdd and dvd playback. The MIB II is mean to be an upgrade right? But not too worry i can add logo to radio station and view image gallery...

I've got a MY15, the voice command button on the steering wheel pauses music. I don't have voice command activated.

I also believe you can control what that button does with VCDS if you don't have voice command activated as well, and it currently does nothing for you.

Thats interesting, when I click on mine I get the message, "You can activate voice control function by means of an activation key. Please contact your dealer" or another one like "Voice command is not enabled"

Might go back into the dealership and see whats up.

Ya, mine is MIB 1.

I do recall seeing a setting you can change using VCDS to modify the behaviour of that button.

Stupid question time.

My GTI is stating that it's due for an "oil service" in 7 days. My car is due for it's 15,000km service (so first proper service) in around a month's time.

Wait for the main service, or am I supposed to be doing something about this oil service other than checking it's not losing too much!?

Sounds like the presale check was done 3 weeks before you bought it as the warnings are pretty accurate. Mine came up last week bang on time.


Wait for normal service

B*stards onto it too long then! Ok, will wait for the proper service. Cheers.

Title should be Low Speed Noise not Los.

My Golf has this noise at a low speed approximately 4-5 km /hr, it happens intermittently but usually when we drive up-hill and when the car is warm (more than 30 minutes driving at least).

My Golf is 6 months old and the dealer has replaced the charcoal canister but still has not resolved the problem.

Any idea?

hey guys , just took my wifes golf 7 tsi in for a 45k service this time we used a euro specific workshop rather then VW dealership

picked the car up today and there were some notes

1.oil leaking from bell housing
2.fault code no communication with gear selector module
3.rattle noise

now last service VW did some work to the DSG gearbox / clutch under warranty could this possibly be the issue with the leak ?

we have never noticed any issue with being locked out or unable to select gears

the rattle noise i am pretty sure is the wastegate rattle from what i gather

the car is booked into vw to have a check but if they cant find any issues we are out of pocket whatever time they spent

the car runs out of warranty next month

just wondering if anyone else has had any issues along these lines ?

cheers
