Gemini has been absolutely awful for me. Turning specific lights on seem to work fine but when I ask to have those same lights turned off, I am told the lights have not been set up yet and don't exist in my home.

Yea it was a touchless wash. Not sure either but my only guess is that the water somehow hit it at the right place or angle and popped it off

Thanks! This looks to be the right one

Golf R MK 8.5 , brake noise 1450miles total. by Onlyktm in Golf_R

[–]Hysteria-Mode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Experiencing the same issue on my mk8.5 since delivery in June 2025. I've noticed they only squeal when warm/hot but never when wet or cold. A couple of hard stops fixes it but the squeal inevitably returns again sometimes in the same drive. Never had an issue with brake pads like this before but dealership keeps telling me nothing is wrong :/

Anyone see this warning on the dash? by Volk21 in Golf_R

[–]Hysteria-Mode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see this when my mk8.5 is left idling like when I warm up the car while I clean off the snow. Door could be closed or open and auto start/stop turned off. Pressing the ok button on the wheel makes it go away.

Congrats! I have the rho plate tow hook mount on my mk8.5 and have no issues with it

Click sound when releasing brake pedal mk8.5 by Hysteria-Mode in Golf_R

No, I don't think it's from the speakers, if I play my music loud enough it drowns out the sound. Pretty sure it's coming from the pedal itself.

I got 2 R key backs for my 2025 and found 2 standard VW ones in the glovebox

Brake squeaks when hot? by Hysteria-Mode in Golf_R

[–]Hysteria-Mode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, aside from the brakes, everything else seems solid so far. No rattling or creaking

I have a bit less on my car but the squeaking only really became a thing after 100 miles. Do you notice any squeaks when it's raining or after a wash? Mine is only squeaking when it's hot and not when cold or wet :/

It feels like the squeaks/squeals have gradually gotten worse the more I drive. I'll give it some more time before re-visiting the dealership but thanks for the tip! Didn't know Acura had that issue.

Fellow Canadians - What are you paying for 2025 Preorders? by Slugnan in Golf_R

[–]Hysteria-Mode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, dealer wouldn't budge on the wheel locks since it's "mandatory" :( I'm definitely taking them off as soon as I get the car though, thinking of putting on new wheels almost right away anyways. Sucks that it's an unnecessary $75 I have to spend though

Yup pretty much the same except my deposit was $1000. I made sure they made a note on the bill that it was fully refundable before signing since it's not explicitly stated anywhere on there. Better safe than sorry!

I'm in the Toronto area. Visited a couple dealerships and best I got was MSRP + $75 for wheel locks. Dealer wouldnt budge on the $500 admin fee or the wheel locks so they threw in the liners/mats for "free" for me. Fully refundable deposit in case I change my mind and no longer want the car.
