    To reset the tyre pressure light after you've put air in, you need to go into the settings menu and accept the new pressures and the light will go out. 👍

      It's usually a button on the dash which you press and hold, usually near the gear knob. On this car is done through the in car entertainment. Press Car button, then setup then tyres, set and confirm.

    Carly is a rip-off. No refunds and they hide the fact that it's subscription-based. Deceptive advertising, sketchy business practices, no refunds, questionable value/functionality vs a standalone OBD2 scanner.

    TPS are a Pain in the arse imo who needs it. However sometimes the settings option works but you will find that the dealers will tell you to to over inflate the tyres to highest manual allows and run for 25 or so miles and car” learns” then light will go off as if by magic then recheck and set tyres to your desire. Frustrating as hell but a solution that has worked for me. The cheaper obd scanners don’t work on lots of newer cars better off getting more expensive ones in your position

    Don't bother with carly, I tried it and it was an absolute waste of time, the app was very laggy, full of annoying upselling adverts and for coding different settings to your car, just don't use it, it gives you no help or clue as to what you're changing, in my experience obd eleven is far superior for VAG group vehicles, customer service was hopeless and no help, basically it was like tough shit mate, we've got your money now and we're not giving you it back, so my advise is avoid. !!!

    I've got a mk7 16 plate 5dr one of these exactly the same colour...They are a lovely looking car and have all the toys on them...The only reason I picked my GTD over the R was the running costs and the insurance difference...Mine is very quick and a Golf GTD imo is spot on for what I need...Mine has just under 57k on the clock and I wouldn't change it at the moment as it does everything I want without robbing me.. Problems to look out for are leaks on the boot (either thru boot handle or thru the void in the boot behind the rear lights on both sides) Both are relatively cheap fixes but can be a pain...Trust me u shouldn't have this car long Super Joe as they are very desirable and something us men in our 40's+ want with the look of them and some power under your foot...U can turn the start stop off on the centre console if u want as well...Would be interested to see a follow up on this car on RUclips m8...👏🏻👏🏻

    Settings menu on the Golf will allow you to adjust the steering weight, suspension, the auto locking, tyre pressures, lighting, etc so that will save you buying a Carly if you don't already have one! 😂 Stage 1 remap on a GTD will give it near-GTI levels of performance (except rev limit, obvs) 😁
    Great review! Unfortunately the 3-door manual GTD is the least desirable version, the size and weight of the doors will become tiresome when in a car park!

    It was probably cheap because CUNA or CUMA (one of them) 2.0 TDI takes so much oil, which is 1000ml over 100km which is actually to do with rings on pistons.

      @spoodydude4104 2 месяца назад

      5000 miles between service I tend to do oil changes every 5k for peace of mind so if it don’t burn much much evey 5000 miles not too fused one I’m looking at is at 132k miles

    • @benclarke9665
      @benclarke9665 2 месяца назад

      @@spoodydude4104 depends how you drive it 👍 I’ve got a 65 plate gtd with dsg box Cuna engine 70,000 miles , if you drive it around in eco mode it uses hardly any oil , i generally drive around in sport mode and boot it after it’s up to temp to keep the dpf clear as the wife does lots of short trips weekly
      It used to use 700ml per 10,000 miles when vw used 5w30 oil
      They changed the grade recommended last year to 0w30 now it uses 1100ml per 10,000

    Carly does have the nasty business practice of hiding that the price is actually a yearly subscription. Canceling your sub can only be done over the phone. Be warned. Scanner itself and the app work fine though.

      Me too, bought it with a discount for my Mercedes, now it seems to be a yearly subscription, paying/getting charged the 'full' price which they don't mansion... Further more: I bought it for 'coding' but that menu isn't even there, they have no access.
      So it is a 'bad' buy.
