Some Arteon quirks (vs other models)

TCS engaging perhaps? I know that it has to be off for LC to work, but it might not be totally off......to provide a bit of a safety net. Some systems do this. They are never really off, just have their sensitivity turned way down.
Anything pop up on the dash?

Yes, that was my guess..

I didn't notice anything on the dash..... but wasn't really looking down at the time.

Has anyone every actually had the wipers come on automatically during rain?

100% of the time- never had an issue.

Same.

Sometimes they come on even when there is no rain.

That happens to me lately...because I'm not used to the indicators being on the other side...

Check that the wipers are on the "INT" setting.

I feel really dumb but have no idea what you mean....

Yeah that happens to me as well but only when I channel my 10 years driving nothing but Toyotas.

The rain sensors only activate if you've set the right stalk to the "int" setting (one nudge upwards). You then should have some sort of dial that sets the sensitivity. In other words, read your manual again (Again right?)

Ohh myyy gaawwd. Lol. It works really good!

The rain sensor was one of my biggest negatives and it turns out I was the problem....

Thanks everyone

Arteon auto-stop at lights almost NEVER activates. I've even tried driving with climate and radio off... still says power consumption high... took it to VW- they stated they replaced the battery as they said it wasn't holding a full charge. When I got the car home.. I checked under the bonnet (as car still not 'stopping' at the lights) and sure enough.. it's the original battery still (I marked it)- This is after the enthusiastic reassurances of the service tech that he'd changed it... grrrr- Don't like deception. So now I'm checking 'resting volts' on the battery to see what it shows on the multimeter... after 30min freeway/suburban road driving it is 'resting' at 12.2V... not even sure if this tells me anything.. anyone else had virtually non-functional stop-start?
