Well this is still a work in progress but I think I got the major points. I have to lookup torque specs for the brakes, and made the assumption the drain order for the fluid is driver front first to passenger rear same as the R...

Recently did a brake fluid change on my i3, and would assume the process is very similar if not identical for the e-Golf. Any done a detailed write-up or just want to share any tips n' tricks to it? I already have a Motive Power bleeding tank which fits perfectly, and the DOT4 brake fluid is...

Oh yeah ok here we go: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mDKImHAru_c I looked in the bag 3 times and finally found it hidden under the top flap, lol. Definitely will do a complete write-up for this.

Well, of course, the next day the squeaking had completely disappeared and could not be reproduced. I would like to pop the wheels off this weekend and do a brake pad inspection, but does anyone know what screwy bit is used on these lug nuts? I assume these are proprietary and couldn't find...

Also getting this on 2019 SEL starting a few months ago. Happens most frequently when turning on city streets, but I've noticed it can also happen when coasting straight over speed bumps as well with no regen braking, which makes me think it's more of a suspension issue vs. brakes.

Our 2019 SEL was purchased in late February of 2020. The pandemic obviously shut everything down a few weeks later, before I had applied for HOV stickers. In 2022 with everyone slowly returning to the office, I went ahead an applied for stickers on New Years day and they arrived in...

We traded in our 2016 SE (no DCFC) back in February which had around 37k miles and only got $9500 trade-in from Sunnyvale. I'm sure it went to auction and got $12k easy. In hindsight I should have just sold on the open market but was on a time crunch due to the rebates. Ironically, both me...

I'm always weary of the "1 available at this price" terms, especially from Sunnyvale. That being said, I'm sure they'll sell you one for $28k or $29k at worst.

Perhaps I'm optimistic but I think the range would be adequate. The worse case range scenarios for a 2019 tend to be about 110 miles on a cold day for an SE, while the SELs will come in around 120 thanks to heat pump. I've noticed on the e-Golf, a/c doesn't kill the battery quite as bad as...

No idea, but I can say with 99.9% certainty the sunglasses tray on the e-Golf is the same as any other Golf model. I'd try looking on any MK7 forums site as I'm sure you'll come across someone who's had this problem. This thread might be useful...

It's worth noting that with the e-Golf, the weight shifts to the rear of the car, which explains tire spin and "jumpiness" from the front. This is why electric cars really need to be designed from scratch (i.e. Tesla, BMW i3, and now the ID). The weight distribution difference means the...

So that's a sale price of just under $32k. Meh. Ours was just over $30 and that was good but not phenomenal. I still have the numbers from late 2016: SELs for zero down, $300/mo. Or even better: $2500 + $150/mo. Interest rates were below 2% thanks to Brexit. The SELs were so cheap it...

Agreed that after rebates, you should be able to get a new 2019 SE for about the same cost as used. Back in February when we were shopping there were no SEs available, so we ended up with an SEL for a sale price of $31k and with $11.3k in Fed + State + local rebates off that. I suspected...

The PG&E and Santa Cruz/Monterey/San Benito rebates are simply one per car, and I got the checks less than 3 weeks after submitting applications. I won't be able to claim the $7500 fed tax credit until 2021, but I think the only limit there is 2 cars per year per person. You just enter the...

Navigation database: V03959806CD0066 NAR 2018/2019 I don't have VCDS. I do have an little OBD scanner and a vGate iCar 2 though

Brand new 2019 e-Golf SEL here. There is no SD card that came with the car, from what I can tell. Pretty sure the card is only used for upgrades. System information screen says this: Device part number: 5NA035047D Hardware: H55 Software: 1418 Bluetooth version: 43.345.253 App-Connect...

Been trying to keep an eye out for you! There was a silver 2015 LE on Grant street for a while but they also traded up to a newer one in Urano Grey. The LEs are easy to spot due to the unique wheels and that's the only one I've ever seen in town

I would see 55-65 miles range on my old 2016 SE when it was "cold" by California standards. 80-90 when temperature was moderate and 75-85 when hot. But no more - got a 2019 SEL with heat pump now :D

Thought I'd post the deal from Sunnyvale VW for anyone interested: Sale price: $30,925 Trade in #1: 2016 SE (no fast charger, 38k miles) $9500 Trade in #2: 2009 Subaru Outback (125k miles, bad cat converter and overdue for tune-up) $2300 Sales tax: $2868.43 Document fee: $85 DMV Fees: $416...

Pulled the trigger last week and decided it was time to say goodbye to the 2016 SE, and trade up to a 2019 SEL. Here it is after first wash & wax
