    2013 8V Spare Key & Navigation Issue

    Key does work in the lock barrel, i can start the car but very oddly it struggles to start with this key and occasionally stalls. It does also throw up a gearbox malfunction when using this additional key. I clear everything via VCDS and use the original key and no issues so it is very strange.

    GTI International incident

    I saw this, literally right infront of me. Really upsetting but 2 were conscious and talking one gentleman seemed more critical but hopefully not life threatening. I stood right next to them and managed to tell them to stay still as help was coming hopefully they will all be ok.
