Had Android Auto update in the car today. The new one looks good! Way better than the old Android Auto.

At times when I put my car into reverse, I now hear a clunk/thud sound. Searching online, this seems to be the brake pads moving into the calipers. Has anyone else experienced this?.

Every time I reverse out of my garage- 30K on the clock now, I can't remember when it didn't do it.

These cars make all sorts of noises. I have not noticed this one yet.

In previous cars I have owned they had a slight clunk similar to what you describe. After starting the car it would test the brakes with a slight tap after few a meters. I assumed it was a ABS or TC test.

The ability to waze and control music from the same screen - perfect! For those who haven't got the update yet, there's a setting in the Android Auto app to use the new version, I had to turn that on for it to switch to the new interface.

On another note, has anyone figured out how to deal with the window/door creaking issue when the chassis flexes? The problem was horrible in my previous car and it's nowhere as bad in the Arteon, but it's reminding me of the previous bad experiences. Found a thread which talked about chalking the panel behind the strip where the window sits. Might try that if no one has other suggestions.

Also, anyone figure out the noise coming from the passenger side B pillar. Usually pretty faint, but went over a big bump couple of days ago and it sounded like something is pretty loose in there (sound was like overhanging a wooden ruler over a desk and hitting the end - weird example, I know, but best I can do)

2 more noises I'm trying to track down. One is in the middle of the car somewhere, sounds like coins rattling (faintly). The other I think is somewhere on the drivers door - sounds like a relay going off multiple times, also very faint.

Hi all

New to the scene, about to receive an Arteon in Black 206tsi R-Line fully optioned...very excited to finally drive one as a daily!

Just a quick question, where is the best/cheapest place to buy an OBD11? I'd like to make those changes people have been discussing, but not sure where to start.

OBD11 or equivalent alternative would be good too. Any help appreciated.

I bought mine from AutoInstruct. Deal is ok if you have an Android phone, otherwise I think you need the new version. The extender is also recommeneded to make installation/uninstallation easier. You'll have to buy credits via the App, it's not included with the purchase. Hope that helps.

Peeps,

Simple one - the feature which moves the seat back to make it easy to get in and out - is it meant to move all the way back? Is there a way to make it move all the way back? Mine seems to move a few centimetres and stops.

Hi guys,

I saw a Red Arteon on the road today but it didnt look like the standard red, are there 2 versions of the red or was I colour blind? Comparing these 2 Carsales images they seem a bit different: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...17612427/?Cr=7 & https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...17597568/?Cr=5

Red is now removed officially.

UPDATE on my Previous.

Sent the the ARTY back and they said it is now fixed im yet find out myself. But will be doing a test for good measure, they replaced the TPI which was causing an error with the cluster and the fuel sender.

Works resulted in removing my fuel tank and TSI (assume that is the engine) to rectify. Apparently this was the first of its kind for the Arteon #testdummy.

will let you all know if it works. will be carrying a jerry can in the boot soon!
