Car has done 15K miles.

Driver's side only:

There is a perceptible wind noise whistle ar 49/56 mph, sound like you are walking on a coastal path with some light wind blowing, so the 'whistle' is not consistent.

Checked the seals, all ok for chaffing etc, the window is fully closed. Wing mirror seems secure, have checked seals on rear door and window.

Does NOT always do it!

Any thoughts or experiences please?

Setting up the info on the Dash.

Last week the dash layout changed from classic to something else, just like that, on it's own.

Managed to reset to Classic with tacho in the centre, digital speedo number good and large (nice).

Left side shows fuels from start-up, right side tank level.

Under these are to the left side kW reading and to the right side oil temperature (103 deg C)

I can find a way to delete the last two features, the oil temp is switched OFF on the info menu, but stays on the dash display.

The kW feature I can't find anywhere (yet)

Not a big deal but irritating.

Before the car change the dash layout these were not on the dash display, the speedo and tacho were separate too. Can't get that layout back though the 'Classic' layout shows selected, but does not arrive on the dash display.

Bit tiresome.

Regarding the wind noise, check if the seal where the door rests is properly installed and supple.

I have same model and year. No coastal path whistling that I have noticed. I don't have a sunroof, do you?

As to the display, I quite like the central tacho with digital speed and happy with the kw and oil temp, so I have not tried to turn them off.

Thank you both.

Will check the seals, no sunroof on my car.

As to the display, I am now getting used to it. The BIG speedo reading is very good and the general arrangement has all the right data for normal driving.

The tacho is sort of redundant in these DSG cars maybe, but I'm old enough to watch the revs, but have no control over them! Too Old Skhool.

I think I'll leave the dash. wonder why the car changed the format by itself? Just modern cars and too complicated?

If you inadvertently press the right arrow on the right hand side of the steering wheel without meaning to the dash display will change, I've done this a few times without meaning to myself, a few more presses on the same button brings it back to the dash display of your preference, perhaps this happened to you without realising it, hence you though it changed by itself.

Once you have the large MPH in the centre of the dash a long push on the same button then brings up options on the right of the speedo display so you can then use the right scroll to select which dash display you prefer without taking your hands off the wheel.

If you press the left arrow button on the right hand side of the steering wheel you can scroll between further options depending on the dash display currently selected.

Wind noise couldnt be from the rhs dash air vent could it? The one to the right of the steering wheel close to the door? When mine is shut or just slightly open it often whistles. Need to be at least half open to stop the slight whistle

Mine does the same "coastal wind" noise, not always, but very annoying when it does.

Initially it sounded like a tweeter was failing and thus like a "gr gr gr gr" noise, but it is not that.

The area is right behind the tweeter/door handle, I checked wing mirror, not that.

Should check the door seal.

On mine the noise is on passenger side - driver's side for those with the steering on the wrong side ... 😁

Great feed-back, thank you all.

I was reversing at the time the dash changed! Just might explain the 'operator error' involved...

As to the wind noise: will try the vent first. I tend to move them directionally when hoovering the car but have moved the 'velocity' knob recently to remove some mist inside. Will take a look.
