Bloody amateurs. Those definitely can be smart repaired, so find a reputable wheel doc with good reviews and send the pics across to them.

FFS. Lets see them Jakester.

Probably an idea to have a passenger listen for the noise to pinpoint its location, sitting in the front and then the back, because driving and trying to isolate the location oneself when you’re driving is practically impossible.
-
Assumption wrong, but yes, it does practically cover the bumper, but the issue is because once there’s luggage/stuff in the boot, one has to actually remove said luggage/stuff to get access to the fold out bit to unfold it across the bumper. Bit of a cart before horse, which in this case = “hmmmm… simply a bit dumb, that one…”
-
I have one of those. It’s great but won’t help idiot-brain here from dragging the Missus 80kg case out of the boot and catching the bumper.

A colleague has a plain black one on his combi and it looks OE.
-
Bloody unlucky there. I think it’d be possible to DIY but I wouldn’t attempt it. I’m guessing it’d be 4-5h job. ApatureS may know as he’s a VAG Tech.

Disconnect the battery for 20 mins and see if that resets it? You’ll have a dash full of warning lights for the first few metres but they’ll slowly disappear as you drive.

That’s what I get driving around town. The very best I have achieved is 38.9 on a 400+ mile drive to Cairnryan. Never bought it for economy though.

Only in this weather do I now appreciate ventilated seats. They realty do keep ones back, bum and neither regions lovely and cool!

I dream of 40mpg! 😂

I’m able to make and receive calls on our MIB2 when CarPlay is initiated. However, I do not like the interface and do not use it by choice.
-
Well, if that’s correct, that will save a bit!
-
Our Superb had it changed at 3 years at 19k. I’ve just had it done again at 6 years and 36k, together with the Haldex and Diff. Make sure they completely drain the fluid from the DSG.
-
That’ll be me!

Looking over on the VWROC forum, a number of MK7 owners have had the same issue. It can be dismantled - thanks to R Learner for the guide here. So just need to get a bit of 3mm mirror glass cut to 130x70mm and should be quite a simple fix.
-
Unlikely I’d think, as I always pull it down from the leading edge and push it gently back in the same way. Anyone know if the glass is available as a part or is it the whole visor?
-
…. does anyone have a clue how this could’ve happened and, more importantly, other than shelling-out a million quid (or an equally real sum I have no doubt) for a complete visor, can the mirror glass actually be replaced??? It’s a bloody nuisance that’s for sure!
-
Opened mine and it’s a CR2032.
-
Whatever it is, it’ll be sorted under warranty so that’s great.
-
He sorted a great discount today.
-
Unfortunately, it wouldn't make any difference what the finish was; sadly, that awful grawnching sound as one hits the kerb would provide the same result.
-
Our 280 is a March 2016 car and the KESSY keys are still on their original batteries, so now 6y4m have passed....

I would think 20-odd BHP less and the 4x4 system sapping more power is the reason why.
