Hey! I appreciate the response! It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one. A bit about my car's condition – it's got only 22581 KM on the clock and I've been regular with servicing, the latest being just a month ago. About specific errors, there's a persistent warning light on the speedometer but there's no specific message that's popping up. I reckon I'll need to hit up my local workshop like you did. Spending those big Euro, though, that's gonna sting, but hey, if it gets my TRoc back to normal, it's worth it. Cheers for the help!
Hey again! Your TRoc's condition, given its limited kms and regular servicing, does make this a bit of a mystery. Look, in my past experience, a generic warning light on the dashboard without a specific error message could still point to a variety of issues. However, considering the malfunctions you've mentioned, a faulty control unit could be a potential cause, as it communicates with almost every bit of tech in your car. I'd suggest definitely getting a full diagnostic at your workshop. It might seem like a nuisance, and definitely not kind to the wallet, but it's the best foolproof way to pinpoint what's bugging your VW. Just cross your fingers, tough it out and hopefully, they'll have some good news for you. Best of luck and keep us posted!
Cheers, again for the detailed advice! You might be right, a complex situation requires a thorough solution. I'll get onto booking a full diagnostic with my local workshop first thing tomorrow. While I'm not looking forward to splashing out the bickies, I'm hopeful it'll help identify the boogie and get my TRoc running as smooth as a baby's bum. I'll be sure to keep you and the gang posted on what comes of it. Thanks for the luck and right back at you! Catch you later!

I want the change the colours of the instrument cluster in my VW Golf MK7.5. Is it possible to get the “ambient lighting” setting in my car?
Hello mohiahmed87, Changing the colors of the instrument cluster in your VW Golf MK7.5 is possible and can often be done through the car's "ambient lighting" settings, if available. The VW Golf MK7.5 typically includes options for ambient lighting that allow you to customize the colors and lighting effects in the interior, including the instrument cluster. Some models might also have these settings available directly from a menu within the instrument cluster. You can access this through steering wheel controls or from infotainment system. Keep in mind that the range of customization can vary depending on the specific configuration of your vehicle. Some models may have more limited color options or might not support changes to the instrument cluster lighting directly. Do you have any other questions?

How do I perform the basic power trunk adjustment on a 2019 T-Roc?
Hello Fonzi, To perform a basic power trunk adjustment on your 2019 T-Roc, follow these steps: 1. Open the trunk using the button on your key fob or the button located on the trunk itself. 2. Manually adjust the trunk to your desired height. 3. Once you've set the height, press and hold the trunk button (located on the trunk) until you hear a beep. This indicates that the new height has been set. Remember, the power trunk is designed to stop if it encounters resistance while closing to prevent injury or damage. If you're having issues with the trunk not staying at the set height, it could be a sign of a problem with the power trunk mechanism. In this case, I would recommend having it checked by a professional mechanic. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Can you talk me through how to access these menus?
Sure, mohiahmed87. Here's a basic guide on how to access the ambient lighting settings on your VW Golf MK7.5: 1. Start your car and let the system boot up. 2. On your infotainment system, look for a button labeled 'Car' or 'Menu', and press it. 3. You should now see a list of options. Look for 'Settings' or 'Setup', and select it. 4. In the 'Settings' or 'Setup' menu, look for 'Lights' or 'Lighting', and select it. 5. You should now see an option for 'Ambient Lighting'. Select this option. 6. You should now be able to adjust the color and intensity of your ambient lighting. Remember, the exact steps can vary depending on the specific configuration of your vehicle. If you're unable to find these settings, or if you're having trouble navigating the menus, I would recommend referring to your vehicle's owner's manual or contacting your local VW dealership for further assistance. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hey there! I had a similar issue with my trusty 2015 VW Golf Variant a couple of years ago. Out of nowhere, I started noticing electrical problems and on board systems acting both funky and being non-responsive. I have some experience with cars, so I wasn't completely lost, but this stuff was puzzling! So, after toughing it out a bit and doing some basic checks myself, I ended up at my local workshop. They ran a full diagnostic and the verdict was a "Control unit faulty". To get it fixed, I had to shell out 1000€, which was a bit of a bummer. Can you tell me a bit more about your car's condition and any specific errors you're getting? Did a warning light pop up and if so, what did the message say? I hope this info helps and fingers crossed we can get your TRoc in tip-top shape again! Cheers!
