    VCDS fix for the climatronic at 72F / 22C - working

    I have been trying to figure out the instructions on RT but have not had any luck. Not sure how to execute "All needed is a switch to the engineering session (4F) prior to changing the value." I copied the label file to the specified directory, but don't know if it is being used (or valid)...

    Battery degradation over time in cool climate

    I am in southern NH. My range has dropped to about 90 miles (145km) per charge in the colder parts of winter (0F, -18C). All secondary roads, I have the resistive (non heat-pump) heater and use snow tires (range killer for sure). It is garaged at both ends of my daily commute. For comparison...

I find that if I gently lift on the charger plug before unlocking the car, the charger lock will release. I...

    Rolling the dice on floor mats

    Just for future reference, TuxMat has a set specifically made for the eGolf. I like them more than the WeatherTech mats I had for my A3 TDI.

    Trailer wiring

    I thought that the Synchronous AC Permanent Magnet motor was brushless. Anybody know for sure?

    Coasting

    I agree. I keep trying the various levels of regen, but always end up with the coast setting (and love it). I do, however, like some regen while driving in congested traffic, or down a long hill.

    No one got a new 2017 e-Golf for Christmas?

    Got mine last week. Waiting for snow tires to be delivered before using it as a daily driver. Will replace my A3 after VW buys it back (diesel).
