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,

        Can anyone tell me how to identify the cars with the Driver Assistance Package, please?
        I am looking to buy a MkVII and want to ensure I get the Driver Assistance Package.
        I've noticed (what appear to be) extra radar spots on the wheel arches.
        Are there other identifiers?
        Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Driver Assistance Package has been the same since the MkVII was introduced:
        Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
        Front Assist with City Emergency Brake (City EB) function
        Driving profile selection

        Park Assist 2, parking bay and parallel parking assistance
        Proactive occupant protection system
        Golf VIII R-Line MY21.5 fully loaded – sunroof, sound & vision package (head-up display + Harman/Kardon stereo), Pomelo Yellow premium metallic (a.k.a. Lime Yellow in most markets) – ordered 18/3/21, delivered 17/8/21.
        Previous VW group cars: Golf VII Comfortline DSG MY15.5 pacific blue; Golf IV Sport MY04 reflex silver with sunroof; Golf III CL bahama blue; Audi A4 MY95 tornado red; Porsche 928S3 MY85 guards red with sunroof.

          Easy, just look for the ACC box thingy in the middle of the lower grille (under the license plate in this pic).

          Also I'm pretty sure Park Assist 2 has been removed for Aus Golf 7's cause someone crashed into a ute tray with it.

            Hi,
            This is just a rumour. Park Assist is still available as part of the Driver Assistance package on Golf 7.
            Just keep in mind that it's not available on Golf R as the factory didn't develope it for this model.
            Maybe they thought R drivers can park without help. Don't get me wrong. It's an awesome feature and has helped me to get into some tight spots. A neighbour just ordered a Highline with DA. It's a MY15 with DA and Park Assist.
            Happy parking!

              Park Assist 2 is still available, just not on the R in Australia (for compliance reasons to do with the front and rear bars).

              (PA2 is available on the R in LHD markets overseas.)

                Cool thanks for the clarification, I checked up some pictures of Driver Assist Golfs on carsales after and they still had the park assist button so I wasn't too sure.

                  When you look on the German car configurator and the current German Golf R brochure you won't find Park Assist 2 listed as an option for Golf R - not as an individual option nor as part of a package. Maybe in the future but not so far.

                      Here's one from carsales, though I think looking for the ACC is easier.

                        Thanks for that. So where is the ACC controller, please? How does it vary from the normal cruise control buttons?

                          As much as I am loving the car, I have the dreaded wiper smear again - dealer has already changed the blades once! I'll get them to check out the radar when I take it back for the wiper blade to be changed....
                          Add 1/2 bottle of Bars Bugs to washer bottle. Wipe undiluted onto screen and edge of wiper blades with a clean paper towel and rub around. Rinse with water.

                                Hello...my 2c:

                                - MY14 here with flat front sensor. I also read that they changed it because it was being stolen but I'm not sure I buy it...it might have been more fragile than the round one.

                                - Park Assist 2 in Australia is only specified as part of the Driver Assistance Package. This package is merely a group of optional extras specified by VWofA for the Australian market and nothing more. In Europe the options we get within the DA package can be ordered individually.

                                - If you see a car with the radar under the front bumper it has DA package installed. No radar = No DA package.

                                - If you have DA package you will get the P+steering wheel button on the right side of the gearknob (park assist) and also the driving mode button on the top left of the gearknob.

                                - When you don't have DA package you have normal cruise control.

                                - The controls for both normal CC and ACC are on the left hand side of the multifunction steering wheel (which is standard equipment in Australia on all Golfs). The markings on the buttons are slightly different in each case.
                                - MkVII 90TSI Comfortline 5-door, 2014, Pacific Blue (LA5J) 6MT, w/ Driver Assist 2 and Discover Media - DELIVERED
                                - MkV GTi 5-door, 2009, Candy White (LB9A) DSG, Sunroof, RCD 510, MDI - SOLD
                                - MkIV TDi Van, 2002, Reflex Silver (LA7W) 5MT - STILL GOING
                                - MkIII 1.4CL 5-door, 1993, Steel Blue (LB5T) 5MT w/ Power steering - BEING REVIVED
