Can phones be removed from the infotainment list?

Just curious. My 2015 business has quite a few phones shown when I scroll about. Phones from the service guy who collected the car , my old phones etc etc. I cant see a way to delete them. I understand it doesnt matter really as they obviously wont connect again but am just curious as I thought I wo...

Warning re Mobile battery replacement company

For the first time in my long life I discovered that I should not change the battery unless I have VCDS/diagnostics to 'register it'. So in these difficult times I decided to spend £25 for the well known UK High St company (not sure I am allowed to name them) to come to my house and do it for me. Th...

Re: Battery light

Hi I am thinking of replacing the battery on my 2015 SE (stop/start) as am getting "12v nearly empty. Switching off Infotainment" Two things. If I replace the battery but cant do the vcds bit is it dangerous to wait a week or two (say 100m) then drive 30m to my cousin with VCDS so he can '...

Re: b8 Parking brake update question

Thanks both, will explore further

b8 Parking brake update question

My Sept SE Business went in for service last week. The paperwork said they also applied updates: 46G7 Criterion 6 and 64e4 Criterion 1. Googling I think one is assoc. with the EPB. Was in a stop start queue of traffic yesterday and twice in pulling away the brake didn't release. Crounch noise. Press...

Re: 9IM7 Recall

I have a Sept15 reg B8 so I did some googling for 91M7. Pops up a lot on German sites but the only one that seemed at all useful was this one from http://www.kfz-betrieb.vogel.de/service/articles/507359/ Below is the goolge translation. I seems like a bug fix rollup for several issues. Also was star...

Re: Sound deadening glass

fyi:VW UK say the Sound Deadening Glass/Sound Insulating Glass produces a 2db noise reduction in the car. I would assume that most of that is going to be a wind noise reduction. Another positive advantage is that I wont hear 'music' so loud from cars whose owners like their music at full blast, esp....

Re: Sound deadening glass

I think the windscreen is the same on all the B8s. It's the rest of the windows that change if you go for the acoustic glass option. The windscreen is already acoustic glass as far as I know. What is causing your noise - are your sure the windscreen is properly sealed? The brochure says "Sound...
