My golf 45 clubsport had the same error messages.A new steering wheel under warranty and the problem was solved!Steering wheel heating button is now also different.👍👌
Errors regarding the assistants seem to be a manufacturing defect in the steering wheel of VW cars. For this reason, a friend's Golf had its steering wheel replaced under warranty. Another friend who works at a dealership says they are doing mass replacements of steering wheels because of this issue.
Yep, same, my friend had a '22 mk8 GTI with tje same issue and got a new steering wheel installed. The fun part is that he still got errors but much less frequently. He traded it in for '24 mk8 GTI and had it for about a month now and no errors - I guess VW finally figured it out.
8 R owner here. You are talking about a different issue which shows "travel assist error" which has to do with the lane assistance and adaptive cruise control module. It starts complaining because the sensors in the steering wheel are reporting invalid data (solved by replacing steering wheel like you alluded to).That has nothing to do with what you saw in the video though. What you saw in the video happens to every Golf 8(.5) on track simply because the car shuts down all the assistance systems (emergency braking, parking assist, side mirror assist, ect). By law the car has to be designed to report when these systems are shut down or not working, which is why you see all the yellow lights come up. After a while all these systems come back online if you resume "normal" driving lol.
it's Norwegian! 4:27 - "Front Assist has limited availability" 4:33 - "Travel Assist is currently unavailable" 4:35 - "Outmaneuvering assistant is currently unavailable"
This video reminded me how good the Mk8 is, it also reminded me why we sold ours: super sensitive front-assist that I had to disable every single time, and capacitive touch controls.
Que vídeo maravilhoso, eu como brasileiro e apaixonado por Golf...vendo esse R só me resta chorar kk aqui no Brasil ainda não temos, porém tenho fé pois a Volks quase que já conformou o MK8,5 para o final de 2024, aqui em Brasília mesmo já tem um importado❤
7:05 Very impressive car, but definitely don't want to be faffing about with the steering wheel looking for a heating button while negotiating curves and traffic at 200+ Km/hr
Maybe he is still runing original oil weight? Can't talk for the Golf but on B58 if you go for 5w40 the oil temperature on track rarely passes 120 C. Mine stays at 116. A friend's on 0w20 Hit 130+
6:43 fijn hè , stuurverwarming . 😂 tenminste . Als het winter is wel . En als je koude handen hebt ook. Maar Als je aan het racen bent is het minder ideaal.
Crazy how problematic the steering wheels are with the new Golfs - from usability problems with the touch controls to defects causing all sorts of error messages. I think with an 'old' wheel on there the car would be pretty perfect!
I have thought that it would be interesting to tie the heated steering wheel to the coolant temperature, so if the car gets hot your hands get hot... not that we're not all watching the gauges, of course. Yes, very random comment.
@@rich2579 same with mk7 trims that have the adjustable dampening, the lowering springs are quite nice for a street car. I'd say something stiffer would still be needed for heavy track, because on sport they can still be a quite soft with hard driving
Hey Misha I'm travelling to the Ring for my 4th time in September and I'm interested to know if you feel the new traffic system on getting on and off the track is effective especially if you are there for the weekend. It looks like every time you want to go on track from the car park you have to go out to go in if that makes sense. Thanks
All VW needs to do is program the steering wheel heater control to be a press and hold for five seconds (or any other duration) to activate/deactivate. Simple.
For what, track? I’d take this. For road? I’d take a45s. Also reg torque converter yes but seeing as it’s all mode dependant it’s hard to call definitives. Both work well merc feels more rear biased even when golf is in drift, in my opinion.
How do you get 450 hp and 600nm from a 2 litre ICE ??? I have a 1800 fiat 124 and I'm lucky to get 180hp .. OK, it's carbied ,and just an 8valve head , but no expense was spared . FFS , I may have to buy a later model car !!! lol
I’m an mk8 owner and yes in the beginning this happens a lot!! And after some time you get used on it and it won’t happen anymore :) you get used to using it
Very quick but it has a bland sounding engine, no character. Sold my 7 Golf R for the very same reason. Appreciate there is a big fan base for these though, I felt underwhelmed by mine unfortunately.
Why don’t you spec the mods on every car? It’s huge interesting… We don’t always heres all facts when talking about… Every car you drive has their interesting story…
I took the rear seats out of my old Integra just so I wasn’t used as a taxi by my family! No more airport runs at 3am! The cheek people have when going on holiday just to save a £30 taxi😂 If you don’t have kids it makes a lot of sense :) On a weight saving side yes they’re very light. I stripped or bought added lightness for my 350z and I saved 200kg(1270kg with fuel) interior weight is so minimal! The big weights are front seats, battery, exhaust, lighter wheels, stereo speakers etc

@VW software engineers: If Nürburgring mode = 1, heated steering wheel and seats = N/A
Micha confound the steering wheel heating with the wheel ( tire) heating 😅😅😅
nice to see a tuned car not overheat, stays pretty cool (minus the steering wheel apparently)
Operator error, button is on the spoke of the steering wheel.

You know, here in Germany we have a saying:"Yes, but it´s still just a Golf." And I think that´s beautiful.
Lap not hot enough so Misha tried to make it hot! 🤣🔥👐
That golf R is crazy , nice to see that Golf 2 racing 💪🏼
Now thats a fast looking car and one where i believe the claimed power!!
Good to see you get the front assist warning error randomly too! Bloody thing.
Fantastic as usual
Fast car.. was it at gatebil?
This video reminded me how good the Mk8 is, it also reminded me why we sold ours: super sensitive front-assist that I had to disable every single time, and capacitive touch controls.
capacitive touch controls are a non issue. And front assist errors can be coded out with OBDevelen which I did for mine. Sucks for you lol.
@@blam9346 as you can clearly see in the video touch controls are very much an issue
@@blam9346please share the long coding if you can, it drives me insane! Would love to code it out
I like that the cluster seems to show what next gear its predetermined on when youre let off the gas
why do people still put lowering springs on the original shocks, you're just making it handle worse and you can barely see the ride height difference
B8 so good for lowering.

That thing is insanely quick out of corners!
If i would drive the New golf 8 r the first thing would be change the steeringwheel.
Who in the world thought this would be a great idea?
Just take out the fuse for the steering heating. Its unnecessary anyways
We want That w202 parked their for a long time may be for last 5/6 videos or more so do your best to test it 🤌

excellent golf. and also, never buy lowering spring, those things are junk, buy coilovers or leave it stock.
People do springs on the 8r to keep the ability for damper/comfort adjustment via its car modes
@@rich2579 same with mk7 trims that have the adjustable dampening, the lowering springs are quite nice for a street car. I'd say something stiffer would still be needed for heavy track, because on sport they can still be a quite soft with hard driving
No wrong, they are still capacitive in the new golf R 8.5
Very impressive Golf R
Thanks for the lesson Mr. Charoudin. I always 'assumed' Misha was a man, that was sooo prejudice I know.

I’ve got a 1 liter golf 8 and my dream is getting on to nürburgring
it looked like Misha was going to smile throughout the entire video lol 😂
what has been done to the car to get to this kind of power? cheers
misha any plans on doing a 360 camera for the outside?
Pretty impressive for a VW golf
A very rapid and fun lap! 🤩🤩
Love it ❤❤❤ best golf 8r
Love those pops and bangs
So f-king fast!
You beast Misha!
Any cooling mods on this one?
what drives better Misha this or a Hyundai I30N DCT Trackwise
All VW needs to do is program the steering wheel heater control to be a press and hold for five seconds (or any other duration) to activate/deactivate. Simple.
I wanna see Misha drive that FD2 and comment his reviews about that car :D
Great job
Keep it up
From Argentina....
Go Bunny, GO!
The perfect daily car
0:19 "like you cannot assume someone's gender" 💀💀
Wow!
Great lap Misha! This or the A45s AMG? Can you tell the difference in the rear torque convector between the two hot hatches?

Een verwarmt stuurwiel, handig voor de Noorse winters, onhandig voor de Duitse zomer.
would be a classic 8R if the travel assist error kept popping up during the lap.

transmission temp
