The dealer sent me on an email he had got from VW Ireland saying that you couldn't have both together. Is it just the Dynamic Light Assist that is the problem with your order or the Premium LED Headlights. I didn't order the DLA just the Premium LEDs. I reckoned that the Premium LEDs which bend roun...

I don't understand why you can't have both - do you?

Hi. I ordered the heated windscreen (4GX) and the premium LED headlights (WLH) and was told by VW Ireland I couldn't have both. So I dropped the heated windscreen. Perhaps that is your problem too.

Anyone have the Dynamic Light Assist along with the Premium LED headlights? Is it any good?

Oh dear that's not good. Still, hopefully it was just a one-off blip. How have you been finding the car other than that? Mpg, comfort, ride etc?

Does anyone know when production for the next model year (2016) begins at the Emden factory. I have been told my new B8 won't be manufactured until week 38. Will that be the 2015 or 2016 model year? Also has anyone heard of any changes in store for 2016?

Cheers!

That sounds great. Hope you have many miles of safe and enjoyable motoring. I'm probably mad but I have ticked the box for the Dynaudio sound system. I listened to the standard system and I thought it was very good. So I reckoned the Dynaudio must be brilliant. Hope I'm right!

Thanks. That's strange because there are photos of the ambient light running along the dash. Perhaps that's for the German market or something. How are finding the car now? Still happy?

In many of the photos (and press releases) it shows the ambient lighting under the trim strips continuing across the dash - but in others it doesn't. Can anyone who has the car say whether it does or not - or is there an option to turn it on on the dash? Also what colours are selectable for the ambi...

How's the Passat going now? What's the ambient lighting like at night? Does it extend across the dash or is it only on the doors?
Best of luck.

Yeah, it sure looks good in the pics. But Ireland in December is very different from Sardinia in August! I'm a bit concerned it could look dull in the bad weather.

Has anyone seen a Crimson Red B8 in the flesh? Does it look as good as it does in the pics?

Yes it does - my wife and daughter went for it immediately. I love the clean sharp look of your Tungsten though. Having some second thoughts now. I have never seen the Crimson in real life, only in pictures.

Is that Tungsten silver? Is your interior black? I'm going for Crimson with the cream leather.

Thanks. What does that mean in effect - reflector vs projector technology? Is the level two a stronger light?
Also how are you finding your car in general? How's the ride on the rough stuff - if you have any in Kildare! What about quietness and comfort?

Sounds and looks terrific. Thank you. I look forward to further updates as you get used to the car.

Is it worth paying (in Ireland) €607 extra for the top level LED lights when the car I'm getting (Highline Business Edition) will come with LED headlights and high beam assist anyway?

Well? Time for that report and some pics!
