At least for US customers, when logged into the carnet.vw.com, selecting the "Trips" tab, all the data for the charts is in a hidden HTML form element, in JSON format. You can find the "view page source" in whatever browser you use, and search for...

I tried this out and I get identical regen behavior from the brake pedal with N and D. I have a US spec 2017 SEL. Maybe there is a behavior change with the 2017 model year?

I ran a full controller map in VCDS (http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Control_Module_Maps) and compared to the pre-service map. The only thing changed is in Auto HVAC (08), where: MAS07251-Cut-in behavior,not activated ,1 is now: MAS07251-Cut-in behavior,activated ,1 No coding...

Ha! I think they need some more time with the training materials. I just had this done (2017 US SEL+DAP). The service manager seemed completely aware of the issue and there was no charge. Mind you, this is a dealer in a state where the e-Golf isn’t even sold, underscoring the variable quality...

+1, also with a 2017 SEL with DAP. I haven't identified any particular pattern to the resets. I'm taking my car in this week for another issue, and I'll report resets as a problem as well. The squeaky wheel doesn't get the grease if the grease monkey doesn't hear the squeak. -john

The buyback offer on my 2014 TDI was darn close to the original purchase price, so turning it in was a simple choice. It took forever, it seems, but I finally got my hands on a 2017 SEL with DAP that wasn't white or black. I find the e-Golf better in almost every way. The things that are not...

Near as I can tell this is more or less a variation on recirculation mode, possibly with a snazzier filter part. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csGNkZSj_JU shows how to get at the filter.

Quite sure. Here is the e-Golf: And by comparison, in a Bolt EV at the same time & location: I guess the point is that after having a Bolt EV in the household for a year, I still went through a relative lot of hassle to replace my Golf TDI with a not-sold-in-my-state e-Golf (with DAP)...

Same with a 2017 US SEL.

Periodically I get no audio from CarPlay on startup. If I change the volume, it shows a muted icon. Flipping to radio and back fixes it. So many bugs!

I plug my iPhone into a 2017 Chevy Bolt, in the Maps app tap Destinations and there are buttons for common POIs like restaurants, parking and charging stations. I plug my iPhone into a 2017 e-Golf (US market), in the Maps app tap Destinations and there are buttons for common POIs like...

Hmm, neither. It is "H". A moment of digging turns up http://www.clubvw.org.au/vwvin which says "I" isn't used. Checked off my daily "Learn something new" TODO.

My US market car was built in November 2017, so says the VIN plate. The window sticker says "2017 e-Golf SEL Premium". Everything in the owner's manual set says 2018. The VIN lookup on erwin.vw.com, which was sufficiently up-to-date to have my delivery date of Feb 4th recorded, reports 2018...

This week I came across a (nearly) hidden hitch from TorkLift, https://torkliftcentral.com/rving-and-towing/ecohitch/volkswagen/2015-2017-volkswagen-golf-ecohitch. A little more involved to install as it involves taking the bumper cover off, but it mounts in way similar to how the OEM hitch...

At erwin.vw.com, for $35, you can get a 24 hour pass to download all the service manuals you want, including wiring diagrams. I recommend searching by VIN to narrow the scope to your particular car.
