Nope, I haven't heard it in a while and I don't live in a state where these cars are officially sold so dealer help/knowledge is lacking. I figured it would be easier to diagnose once it broke :) Let me know if you get to the root cause on it.

Listen up kid, any ace contractor such as myself would know that your typical 2025 battery only produces 3V at nominal, that's just contracting 101, try to keep up. You see, german cars and their electrical systems, well, need I say more? Frankly you would never pass as a fighter pilot flying...

Me too (and cheaper if you look hard enough), that's what I used in my calculation: 320x20x.50 = $3200 aka more than I have on hand at the moment. Good for you, how does this help me? Are you volunteering to do the work for me for free? What difference does it make to me what resources you have...

Can you elaborate on how you accomplished this? Also just to follow up on my last post, changing the parameters via web did in fact work, I'm quite content with this workaround.

Fantastic insight miimura, that certainly would explain my problem. I was about to respond with "Well that's nice and all but VW only gives me 4 settings: 5A, 10A, 13A, MAX" as seen here: But then, I thought, well the website is just submitting whatever's in the dropdown menu, wonder what...

I do as I please. The fraction of the percent of battery life I squandered was well worth the knowledge to me, piece of mind ya know?

Source? My commute is 25 miles round trip, I sleep at night so 5 hours+ of charging is fine with me. Plus I have a multitude of free level 2/3 chargers around when needed. So just to be clear, your proposed solution is for me to casually drop 3+ grand on more panels (ignoring permits and...

So this noise also freaked me out, I recorded it, is this more or less what you guys hear? (this is with hood open, right next the coolant container, it's just about as loud with hood closed hence the panic when I walked out into my garage and heard this going on) http://vocaroo.com/i/s1EN8zvb6Wts

To the people who have been getting this message, are you also getting "key fob not in range" while driving? I get this message all the time, but no low batt message (I didn't know it had a separate error code for that until reading this thread). I keep my fob in the little spot to the left of...

This one: http://imgur.com/a/0UBaQ Do you think I would have any sort of warranty claim since I can't use a built in feature of my car with the factory hardware? I guess I really need to find another charger and start collecting data, but if 5A is too low for a 120V home charger I can only...

One of the first things I did when I got my egolf was to run it down to turtle and do some laps around my block, I don't remember the exact number but I remember driving a substantial amount of miles past 0 (15 comes to mind, but don't quote me on that), on the way down it gradually limits your...

Background: 2015 SEL. I have a 2kW off grid solar system for my house that would have to dip into the batteries if I charged at the full 12A or whatever the max amps is for the 120V charger that came with the car supplies. For that reason from time to time I would like to charge at 5A so that I...
