I'll give it a try thank you very much for taking the time to explain it. Have a nice weekend!

lol that is exactly what I said, dammit I guess they got me, at least I got my wiper nozzles cleaned for $130. If you don't mind explaining, how would I do the math once I have my miles used and avg m/kwh Thanks again

Well Glendale VW actually knew what I was walking about! Unfortunately they told me it is a $400 test that I would be responsible for the cost if it passes, so I declined for now. They did talk about a battery control system that should be reset every service that adjust how the car charges...

I wish! Except driving the e-golf would require stopping three times to L2 charge for 4 hours each time to make the 125 mile trip. So it would take me 28 hours of round trip traveling to drive to San Diego only to have the dealership then tell me they don't know what I'm talking about. I...

Yeah unfortunately none in Southern CA seem to have a clue about the e-golf which is bizarre since for a while it was only sold here. Santa Monica can't do it, Van Nuys actually told me I needed to have my oil changed since the old 2015 head unit still has the scheduled message telling me to...

Any tips for getting VW service to understand what it means to test if the high voltage battery has more or less than 70% of it's original capacity? I went to VW Downtown Los Angeles, and they told me there is no such test, they just suggested the regular service they do which includes...

Thanks for the reply, I live in Souther California so the temperature is usually ideal, and the car is kept in a climate controlled garaged so it just must just not be able to h old full capacity for very long, it seems that even if it's 4-6hrs after a full charge the level goes down on it's...

Well looks like I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and hope it's okay! It's such a shame that nobody at VW knows anything about their own car. Thanks for the responses everyone.

It's difficult for me to tell, I don't really have any technical knowledge when it comes to using tools like ODBEleven or reading voltages and such, which is why I'd love to just bring it to VW and be like "everything ok?" but they are such crooks and so incompetent when it comes to the e-golf...

Hello everyone, TL:DR skip to bottom I have a 2015 Limited I've owned since new, 29k miles, after 5 years in Southern California range still seems good usually always 70-80 miles if I drive it carefully. Only problem it ever had was I was one of the early people who experienced the car...

There are disadvantages with the 2015's as well. 2015 doesn't come with Apple Car Play/Android Auto and you must use VW's proprietary cable to connect your smartphone or music player. From what I seem to gather from sites like Amazon, third-party ones don't work very well and you have to spend...

Thanks for the tip, that actually just happened to a friend of mine who leased a Mazda, lost the 2k down. I seriously almost wish I never saw that lease so I wasn't considering it as an option. But I keep having this nagging feeling that the Golf will serve me well, which means it'll probably...

You're singing my song....I watch that website religiously and I was all convinced that buying out my e-golf lease was the best way to go due to not being such great leases anymore, until I saw that $99 lease. I've already talked to the Martin Chevrolet, they're offering a one-pay lease for...

Oddly enough the cost of the 2015 was more than the 2016 which is probably why the buy out cost is higher, since the 2015 was the first year they made it, even my cheaper "LE" came with all bells and whistles except alloy rims and LED headlights, so it has DC fast charge, and all the other fun...

I agree, they aren't giving it away, but it isn't too insane if the range can work for you. On my 2015 the Limited Edition (cheaper version) still came w/ the fast charger, and I do 95% of my charing at my apartment on 110v anyway, sure it might take all night to recharge, but even if it isn't...
