Example complaints

“The problem is with the vehicle's fuse system. The Golf R came with no spare tire but an air pump, which needs to be powered by the 12v dc power of the vehicle. But when I use this original air pump, the fuse of the 12v dc power burns out. This happened for several times since I had the car in october, 2019. The dealer can only give me new fuse to replace the broken one. Many Golf R's owners met this similar problems. I think there is some issues with their fuse system design.”
