Let's let the OP comment, but I'd be surprised if anything else is on the same breaker as his charger. I know my charger is on its own 50A breaker. If it got tripped, only power to the charger gets cut off. Agree that having an electrician check it out is likely the best path forward.

Looks like a front right flat tire, ugh.

I went with the factory rubber mats for the e-Golf, I managed to negotiate them for free with my vehicle purchase. So far, happy with how they work. I like how the front mats attach to the floor. The rear mats don't, so I have to keep repositioning them from time to time to ensure coverage...

No, I did not use any software or special methodology to gauge battery health. Anecdotally, I knew of two drivers who have Leafs that reached the 3 year mark, and had degraded battery health as indicated on the dashboard meter. Mine did not at the 3 year mark. I never charged only to 70% /...

Take this as it is, just a single data point. I had a 2015 Leaf that I constantly drive in "B" mode (regen) for the 3 years I had it on lease. I charged whenever I wanted, I regen'ed all the time, and during the 3 years I had the car, the battery health meter never degraded at all. I was...

Following up on this thread. I took the liberty to swing down the glove box door, and found the tray that holds the air filter. I did not open the tray yet to inspect the filter, but may do so in the near future just to understand how to open it up for replacement. Interestingly, after I...

Just got my red stickers on Monday May 14th in my mailbox. Cleaned the car and applied the stickers same day. Wrote check March 24th + mailed the request immediately, check cashed May 8th. Looks like about a ~7 week turnaround time for my personal experience.

Thanks, good explanation as to what it does. So, I can find it in my SE's menu... but I can't do anything to activate it. Any ideas?

I've been searching high and low on the 'net to find other reports of 2017 e-Golf mileage with the 35kWh battery, I only found one article discussing practical observed mileage ranges. Everything else I can find suggests 125 miles, which is the published VW spec, and further I believe is way...

I have the same question. It is disabled in my vehicle and I can't enable it. My assumption is that it is used to flow air through a cabin filter, but I have been unable to locate the cabin filter tray in my vehicle. I have Google'd for this, found videos that showed the location, but my car...
