As far as the MFD FAULT goes, I don't like it, cause when I set cruise to 100 on MFD, the speedo dial sits on 103, so thats hardly saving me from speed cameras i don't see...
But beyond the faults, I adore this vehicle, its started to open up now with 700k's on the clock. Performance is awesome, I also noted they perform much better (even just in gear acceleration) with the TCS switched off, turbo and supercharger are a lot louder also.
Handling is fantastic, on the trip to Newecastle i recorded 6.3/100k's with only 100 odd k's on the clock which i thought was great for such a tight engine, I'm averaging around the 7 - 7.5 mark back in Sydney, which im extremely happy with.... I filled up the tank with 1/4 left in it tonight with 650 k's on the trip meter from full. So prob could have got around 800 out of it.

I checked out the mirror lights in my 118TSI. They turn off if you flip the visor up, even if the mirror is uncovered so if yours are staying on someting odd is happening. Wonder how hard it it to take the bulbs out?

My speedo needle? sits slightly above the MFD speed, I thought it was the divergence as the dial is slightly to the right and I'm just looking through the angle. Its about 2-3k's past 100 when cruise control is on 100.
The vanity light is a worry, does it shut off with the ignition off?
My RNS510 also had some issues early on with booting up and rebooting randomly. I did the firmware update and its seems solid now. I had an issue with the RVC coming on then going blank which I put down to the slow boot up of the HD.
Good luck with the dealer, this is where VW needs to follow through with great after sales service and problem solving.2018 Skoda Superb TDI

Thankfully, yes the light goes off once the car is locked. I made sure to check that, worrying it would flatten the battery.
I have however found TWO MORE PROBLEMS with this car now... the bonnet is a few mill's higer than the guard on the passengers side, and the reset button, normally found next to the ESP button, for the Tyre pressure monitoring system isn't actually there??? I mean what the hell.... this is looking worse and worse, I'm starting to become rather disatsfied with the over all QA of this vehicle.... A car I've been wanting to buy for many years, it's a let down you know.
My RNS510 also won't play any DVD's I put in, sayion the DVD has the wrong region code, Also spits out SD cards saying it has an error. Becoming a little over it.

Ozram, has the reset button been moved in the latest shipment as I too thought the Mk6 should have it in the console? Reason I ask is I am vaguely interested in retrofitting it to my non sports pack car.Last edited by logger; 19-10-2009, 10:16 AM.Golf Mk6 118 TSI DSG |APR Stage I ECU Upgrade | HEX-USB+CAN

Het Logger,
Dunno when it changed but mine was built in June and has the button in the glovebox. It works too - when I changed my wheels in the first few days I was driving back from the tyre shop and the light came on. A stop and quick inspection deemed nothing wrong and then after pressing the button so the system could re-learn, the light went out and has not been on since.
Also, not sure if a retrofit is possible. I think it uses the wheel sensors for the ABS though.sigpic

Vanity mirror light
Bonnet fit and finish
DVD set to wrong region code
RNS 510 Switched off a few times yet to do it again.
Rear, offside window stopped working - yet to do it again (didn't touch anything to do with that-just started working)
TPS switch not in console and nothing in manual telling me its in the glove box, but will take a look in there now.
More than enough to be pissed off, on top of that I asked for the MDI to be dealer fitted in the glove box so it didn't chew up my Centre console, but they factory fitted it anyway, and they put the wrong sill plates on. Bill Buckle were great in the beginning, But i'll wait to see how they go with after sales service.

If its any consulation Stoney! Buckles just honoured a warranty repair on my Subaru 18 months out of warranty... mostly becasue it was their responsibility, but they could have been pr1cks and not done it.
Sure your car wasn't wired up in Italy? There's a large number of electrical gremlins in your list.
