Check if the compressor is working, if it does, may be you need to add the refrigerant. You can DIY same as the other car.

The rate of charge not only depend on the L1 charger cord, it also depend on the internal ( in car) charger unit, or the programming in car's computer. So on i3 card, if you use the 13 amperes L1 cord from Egolf (2178)( yes you can) the i3 only take 10 apms. We have both Egolf & i3 , have tried...

For any Egolf over 3 years old ( out of warranty), you should have replaced the solenoid lock of the charger door, because sure you will be get it stuck unable to open soon, special if you part out side a lot of time ( on work or home). The part and labor to replace it : part $30, labor 1 hour...

Even the MAX windshield switch will turn on it, but the controller will determine on or not depending temperature and humidity . So chance may be nothing wrong, it's seemly not on because high temp. or low humidity.

What was battery level when you started charging & end of charge level?. Try charge the Egolf at other charger, like level 1 or level 2 puplic charger to see if it's the same. If OK by other chargers, chance is your charger has problem.

That is the way Egolf 2018 works on pre-aircondition .( or at least my 2018 experiences in Canada) Doesn't matter how you set or want, 15 minutes before the preset time, the heat pump will work, bring the inside temperature to 22 oC. Both on summer ( cool down) or winter ( heat up).

My Egolf ( 2018 in Canada without CarNet), now when I use the GPS, it display traffic condition ( color) on highway . That has happened from about a month ago till now. Any one in Canada got it or notice about it?.

That normal when you turn on without depress the brake pedal.

It look like all Egolf some time got that problem, but seemly only by home L2 charger, not public charger. By experiences, do not panic, lock the car , wait a minute, then unlock, it will release the charger. You may do it more than once. :roll:
