Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • MK7.5 Front assist spontaneously triggers warning

    I have been having spontaneous warnings from the front assist (large red warning graphic and ding) when there has been no obstructions visible in line of sight.

    Had it checked out by the dealer and they said they did a software update but it hasn't resolved the issue.

    It's a bit concerning and this shouldn't go off when there is no apparent reason, has anyone else experienced this ?

    Have only had it a couple times whilst doing some 'spirited driving' with some mates and we were all in a line breaking into a roundabout, and the system had a spac and jammed on the brakes harder almost resulting with my mate behind me in my backseat.

    Then at Marulan, I was following the racing line of the instructors and getting up close to the back of their car and it did it again. I then disabled it for the rest of the day at the track.

    No incidences whilst normal driving except when trying to back out of not overly steep driveways and it has panicked and wacked on the brakes!

        I’ve had the same exiting steep driveways both front and back, I’ve worked out which ones give me trouble and exit on more of an angle now.

          I just lightly ride the brakes and get no warning (or unwanted emergency braking), mind you, I'm backing out downhill, not sure it would work going uphill on a steep driveway/road dip.

            I’ve had a few of those at random times on clear roadways, no braking so I just click OK and continue.

            Had a few backing brake slams however - its pretty poop inducing when the car abruptly stops! Backing out of/into sloping driveways.
