bare in mind that my car is not a GTI. i understand that when u have only 7 litres left, the petrol refill light comes on, u get a chime and the PLEASE REFUEL warning comes on.

i am currently trying to see this in action. i have about 1/7 (or 1/8) left of fuel. is this PLEASE REFUEL feature just on the higher models?

dont really want to risk this in case i dont have that feature and i get to zero fuel. then im stuck!

Make sure you have portable 5 gallon gas tank in your car when you try this.

i just wanna make sure everything works in the car. i mean EVERYTHING, seeing as its a new car. might be worth doing a few ESP swerve tests lol.

I have a base mk4 Golf SDI and this has a low fuel light and warning. So why would every mk5 Golf don't have this??

The warning light on the GTI is annoying as hell, the top section of the trip computer flashes on and off with a big yellow refill icon, its distracting, but I dont forget to fill up.

My GTI please refuel light comes on just about when I am on the second to the fullest red bar if that makes any sense.. What I mean is as the fuel guage goes down - the please refuel comes on at the second red one it comes to.
