lol this made me laugh, the cornering error started yesterday and also the battery change error.

[@mikereports]

Hilarious! 😆

[@alexsouza5215]

Lmao the same here

[@AndersLumina]

I couldn't believe it when I saw the battery change warning, I have the exact same problem, cornering light and key battery!!

[@barrybaksteen]

Lol, same here!!

[@honestreview1043]

Is this the first time you have changed the cornering bulbs? I had to replace mine 5 years ago when the car was 5 and half years old. Not long after I had to change the xenon bulbs aswell. I'm waiting for them to fail again.

[@mikereports]

Sure is, lucky eh. Hopefully the Xenon's keep going for a while yet :)

[@mooferoo]

Are those also your front fog lights? Because on my Golf, i have front fog lights mounted down lower in the bumper, and the cornering light function is one of those coming on when the steering lock is quite far over.

[@georgelong393]

Mine golf is the same my cornering lights is in the fog lights

[@mikereports]

Have you got Bi-xenon's? I believe the cornering lights are in the main headlight unit with Bi-xenons...

[@mooferoo]

@@mikereports No i've got a mixture of Halogen and LED on mine. Guess it's a very different setup, as mine serve as fog lights as well as cornering lights, but the fog lights are located quite low down the bumper, in their own housing. I was just mainly wondering if your cornering lights serve as your front fog lights too though?

[@mikereports]

@@mooferoo Ah, I see, yes same here on the GTD - fogs are in their own housing lower down.

[@DarEdits451]

Just wondering if you’ve had any water leaks with your Golf? I know they are pretty common in the boot and rear footwell.

[@mikereports]

I've heard this, but for me, so far all good 🤞

Is anyone having coolant problems with this car? Every 2 weeks I have to fill it up I’ve took to it Volkswagen and mechanics but they can’t find the issue?

[@Jmoses-22]

Yh i know what you mean it's crazy I was told it's a problem with the egr cooler mind you my car has done 206520 miles.

[@brannonmckenna761]

@ I bought my car at 96,000 miles I gave it back 2 days as it was loosing coolant they changed the water pump and timing belt but nothing changed

[@Jmoses-22]

@@brannonmckenna761 yh exactly I've also done all that changed all the little pumps too I changing the egr cooler in about 4 wks hopefully that sorts out the coolant issue.

Head gasket is gone 100%

[@vVv.18]

Check your headgasket

[@matthewwood9596]

Whats the button on the end of your indicator stalk for? My 2016 GTD doesn't have it, yet the acc works the same as in your video on it.

[@mikereports]

Pressing that shows me the Front Assist is on. It's also for Lane Assist which I don't have.

[@dno3100]

I changed the light and still the problem same

[@mikereports]

If you haven't already, maybe change both bulbs? Or you could get yourself an OBDeleven to diagnose faults. I did a video about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2m4pqWdfpagras Just a thought...

[@honestreview1043]

If you fit a 2032 battery instead of a 2025 battery they last way longer. I changed mine with a 2032 about 3 years ago maybe longer.

[@mikereports]

Yes, I made a mistake with that. I'll get the 2032's next time. Thanks for the tip!
