Default only bug: gas cap/door light stays on. Other defects?

Anyone had any issues with the little indicator light for the gas cap/door staying on in the central display? Nice thing to have, I suppose, but after a recent fill-up, the light stays on until I hit the reset button and the display is turned off. So far, with 1800 miles, it is the only thing that has gone wrong. So I guess I should count myself lucky. Have others had any experiences with defects to date?

Default Driver's door is loose/mis-aligned, it shakes over rough pavement

and doesn't shut completely with a light pull. It needs a massive one. I'm going to the dealer soon to have it checked out.

Also, the little tether for the gas cap is missing.

Otherwise great fit and finish.

I have a warning light for a malfunctioning headlight levelling system. I'm told the computer needs reprogrammed.

Default I don't believe there's a tether for gas cap, my B5 didn't have one either

Personally I never would let the gas hang on the door like it's designed to do or dangle against the paint work.

Default re: headlight levelling sensor

I had the same problem with mine, and just got it fixed today. It was more than a computer programming issue. They had to replace a sensor, and it took a couple of weeks for the part to arrive. It took an hour to install it and wash the car.

Other than that, no problems in 1800 miles.

Default The clutch feel is my ownly complaint.....

Maybe I just need to get used to it, I like a lighter feeling clutch normally but this is too light. I felt like i was gonna destroy it while driving.

Default Driver's door speakers occasionally dead

Driver's door hard to shut, as others have noted. Maybe it's normal?
