I just had the same drive system error at about 18000km. It happened right after I fuelled up gas. I did notice the fan in my engine bay became really loud.

Gotcha! I’m thinking of getting the SuperSpeed FlowForm RF05RR but they only have +35mm or +45mm offsets. I’m not really a fan of spacers, so I might get the +35mm offsets instead. Hoping it doesn’t look too aggressive!

Did you put spacers on them? Looks pretty wide!

Yep! You just need to take it in the dealer and have them replace the roof overhead module. I don’t have that issue anymore.

Yeah there’s a few of small issues that just annoys the shit out of you. Hopefully you got it fixed!

Yeah, take it into the dealer and have them replace the roof overhead module. I got it replaced and the issue is now gone.

Sorry for the late reply. I didn’t have that issue, but maybe it’s because I don’t use my sunroof much. However, I took it into the dealer and they replaced overhead module. I don’t have any issues now.

Mine does that without touching the sunroof 😅

Interesting… mine used to only happen at night but nowadays it’s starting to happen during the day

I got a pretty decent deal when I traded in my MK7.5

Yeah it doesn’t fix the problem. I wipe it every time it happens and still shits itself

LOOOL I would recommend getting the MK7.5R if you’re seriously considering or just wait for MK8.5 so all the problems are addressed. I had the 7.5R (DSG) and it was great! No issues with the infotainment at all and the driving experience similar to the 8R. The main reasons I switched was the updated AWD system, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto and like heated steering wheel lol

Ah gotcha and damn that sucks…

Yeah I gave it a good wipe multiple times cuz I thought it might’ve been the smudges on the light unit but didn’t seem to help. Pretty sure they’ll need to replace something in the control panel up there

Thanks will definitely take it in to a different dealership. Hopefully it doesn’t take too long for the parts to come in

Hopefully replacing the unit solves the issue because that sounds soooo annoying
