I had the exact same issue, and it seems to be a common issue on A3s/GolfMk7s. It's most likely a clogged heater matrix, you need to replace it with a new one. Because of the clogged heater, as you have a TDI, it's possible you will have coolant thrown out of the expansion tank during DPF regen.

It releases the brakes as soon as you release the button.

I tried to pull it at slow speed. It performs an emergency braking, using all wheels, like slamming the pedal brake :grinning:

Actually, I just remembered, the coolant loss was happening during a DPF regen. So if yours is not a diesel(or equipped with a GPF), that might not happen.

A side effect of the clogged heater matrix, besides the heat loss in the cabin, was that the coolant was being spilled out of the expansion tank on longer journeys. Not the hardest to replace. To get access to the heater you need to remove the center console and: -on LHD models you need to...

I had the exact same issue, warm air on just one vent. You have to change your heater matrix as it is clogged. I installed a Nissens made one, and the heater blows really hot now. The OE heater has really thin water passages and they get clogged by deposits. My OE one was so clogged that even...

Charge state is at around 85%. Also, all the quoted adaptations from the my previous post, were not present in my original gateway firmware.

I know about the coding, I changed the battery serial. So this isn't the case. Could it be a Coding/Adaptation issue? Last year I upgraded my CAN gateway's firmware to fix some issues after the MIB2 retrofit. I noticed that in the new firmware has some extra adaptations lines, the last one from...

Before ordering a new battery, I tried the battery from a mk7 Golf of a friend(identical battery, but newer, and no similar issue on his car - both cars 2.0TDIs). The symptoms were the same on my car with that newer battery. Maybe there's an issue with my electric heater and it draws more...

Hi, I noticed lately, that if I turn on the rear window defroster, the defroster relay starts to continuously click(on-off-on...) until the engine gets warm. I also noticed that the heated seats don't heat up as much as they used to while the relay clicking happens. A couple of days ago, I...

There's a TPI on Golf Mk7 for this error "B116229: Selector lever park position lock switch Implausible signal". Apparently there are two manufacturers for the gear selector lever mechanism: ZF or ECS/Küster. The ZF made ones can be fixed by replacing the switch only(5Q0 713 128 A, it's quite...

Thanks a lot!

How did you hooked up the wireless charger? I have the pinout for the connector but I haven't had access to the wiring diagram yet. I saw that the pinout for the wireless charger is: pin1:+12v, pin2&3: to the the MIB unit(one is for Switch On signal and one for Status signal), pin4: GND...

I used something like this for glueing back together the panels: https://www.bison.net/content/dam/boltonadhesives/products/import/72/en/2268/1_transparant.png.thumb.1280.1280.png +some plastic clamps until the glue dried out

It should be a clean white: (If you swap the +12V/GND wires it should be illuminated red.)
