The VDMA flatness requirement was included in the FEM 10.2.14 / 4.103 – 1 and from September 2021 in the European standard EN 15 620. It is therefore an official European flatness standard which must be met. This standard was developed at the request and with the approval of VNA forklift truck manufacturers, flooring contractors, engineering firms and universities, and is based on years of scientific research. VDMA is the only standard worldwide that controls all undulations that influence the driving behaviour of the forklift truck. The undulation of a floor is a combination of both (medium) long and short waiviness.
Owners of the 2021 Volkswagen Golf 8 have reported a unique bug. After a battery disconnect, the radio doesn't ask for a code, but the sound stops working, or the screen goes black except for the reverse camera. This is not a code issue. This is a software bug in the MIB3 system.
The era of writing a radio code on a sticky note in the glovebox is fading. For 2021 VW owners, unlocking your radio now requires the software equivalent of a dealer’s handshake. Treat your car’s electrical system with care, use a memory saver during battery swaps, and you’ll likely never see the lock screen again.
