    Bolt vs Golf

    I had a 2015 SEL for three years. Just turned it in for a new Bolt. First and foremost, the range is so much better. Zero range anxiety and knowing I can travel 200+ miles on one charge is so liberating. I would agree that the interior finishing of the Golf is nicer and I prefer the feel of a...

    Advice for buying a used E-Golf

    You can buy mine if you can wait until early April. 2015 black SEL, <19,000 miles, excellent shape, never been fast charged, only L2 charged. I'm turning it in early April at Galpin in LA. No idea what the residual is, cause I never intended to keep it.

    2018: Keep, upgrade, swap, or return e-Golf

    My 2015 SEL lease ends in April. I just cracked 15000 miles so I've barely driven the car but I've experience range anxiety enough times to know I won't be keeping it. Also the unfixable bugs from day one are just too annoying. I have a Tesla reservation that's supposedly ready right when my...

    Three Separate Siemens VersiChargers Have Failed

    Had to bring the car in for the 10,000 mile check up and told Galpin about the issue AGAIN. This time they ran another diagnostic and discovered a fault code for the coolant pump for the battery. They think this may be causing the shut down. So they replaced the battery coolant pump. Let's see...

    Three Separate Siemens VersiChargers Have Failed

    Two years of ownership and they still have not fixed this issue. It's not the Siemens charger. Others can charge their cars with it perfectly. It's not my car's charging port. My car charges fine with the 120 and with an L2 at the mall or anywhere else. For some reason the Siemens charger in...

    2015-6 e-Golf HVAC 72F fix Tech Tip 87-15-02

    Well Thread Cop, I'm sorry I didn't check with you before offering an opinion on a discussion. Is there a page on this forum where we have to get your approvals before posting anything? I must have missed that while I was spamming every conversation and ALWAYS smugly getting in the last word. Oh...

    Three Separate Siemens VersiChargers Have Failed

    Thanks Joules. I know my car can charge on other Level 2 chargers around town so that's not the problem. It's either my car and the Versicharger or something wonky happening at my house but only with my car not my friend's Tesla. It's just like an episode of Columbo only instead of Jack Cassidy...

    Three Separate Siemens VersiChargers Have Failed

    I had a brand new breaker and all new lines installed for this charger when I upgraded my home to 200 amps. All work was specifically done to support the Versicharger. Interesting update. Since I haven't had time to have an electrician in to test out the thing I just unplugged it and have been...

    2015-6 e-Golf HVAC 72F fix Tech Tip 87-15-02

    This is the 8th car I've ever owned. All things considered, I'm afraid I really do hate this egolf and the Volkswagen corporation.

    Change oil now!

    Unfortunately, VW of Van Nuys has the most smug and horrible service advisors I've ever encountered in my life. And I drove BMWs for years! A truly horrible place with the most hostile and worthless team in the service department. I still haven't had the recall fix cause they screwed up the...

    Safety Recall 93B4 2015-2016 e-Golf Unexpected Shutdown

    I got the notice and set an appointment with VW of Van Nuys for the fix. I got there, waited 20 minutes and then when they got to me I asked them to also take care of the 72 fix. The supersnarky service tech said, "The guy who does their software fixes for egolfs is home sick so they can't do...

    Will do. Thanks electrical smarties!

    Three Separate Siemens VersiChargers Have Failed

    Joules that's a great idea. I'll see if someone can bring over a charger. Yes it was a licensed electrician and it was inspected and permitted but stuff happens, right?

    Three Separate Siemens VersiChargers Have Failed

    Other brands work fine. Both my 110 and Chargepoint and other Level 2 chargers I've used on the road. When my car charges full it goes over 100 so it's not that. It's a fault with either the charger (three separate fails highly unlikely) or my electrical. I'm leaning towards my electrical and...
