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...

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...

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

My finance's been driving my 2016 SE for about a year now, and see likes it so much she almost never drivers her 2009 Subaru. While the 2019 SEs are nowhere to be found, Sunnyvale has over 50 2019 SELs and seems to be looking to move them. We are interested in the SEL just for the longer...

Noticed some light streaking on mine this morning. They should last another year or so, but thinking I may as well replace them now since I'm about to order some new ones for my Subaru. The factory blades on the e-Golf look very similar to the Bosch icons. Anyone know specs on them or have...

Thx VW

My insurance is up for renewal and I've been meaning to raise my deductible in order to lower the premium. Generally with leases they require a deductible of no more than $1k or $2k. It's probably in the paperwork, but I'm travelling this weekend and left it at home. Anyone know? I leased...

I realize this is California specific, but since the majority of e-Golf buyers are Golden State, this is worth being aware of: As of June 30, 2017, only qualified lower-income applicants will receive rebates. ....All other applicants will be placed on a rebate waitlist. Qualified applicants on...

So yesterday CarPlay stopped working. I plug in the phone and it recognizes a USB device; likewise the phone recognizes something on the other end, but the CarPlay menu never pops up. Tried swapping the cable and checking connections, same behavior. My main phone is an iPhone 6 with iOS...

Fairly impressive the Bolt will go far above the promised 200 mile range, and should even beat the Model 3 when it comes out. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2016/09/13/chevrolet-bolt-tesla-model-3-miles-per-charge-range/90275486/ This doubles the ranges VW, Nissan, BMW, Ford, and Kia...

The 15 minute charging will require 800v charging stations which of course don't exist yet, but interesting and promising https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/26/volkswagens-2019-electric-car-said-to-get-300-miles-on-a-15-minute-charge/

At first I thought this was a computer glitch, but if they're doing 20-25% off MSRP and counting the $7500 tax and $500 college grad credits, the numbers do add up. http://www.vwhayward.com/VehicleSearchResults?model=E-Golf Like everyone else in the Bay Area their inventory is really high...

Just walked by the Santa Cruz dealership and saw quite a surprise - 3 2015 LEs out of nowhere. There is 1 white, 1 limestone grey, and 1 silver. Would guess these came up from Monterey, since that was the only place in the Bay Area that had 2015s last time I checked. They're marked at regular...

http://www.nydailynews.com/autos/news/vw-introduces-e-golf-touch-gesture-control-system-ces-article-1.2487228 There's also talk of a wireless charging stations for both front and rear passengers, and the internal WiFi system allowing any passenger "to control the car's media system and...

Certainly inventory is abysmal a the moment; since I'm hoping to find a Night Blue or Urano Grey (but am flexible), I ran the builds through the VW website and this is what I got as results. Thought I'd share for anyone else looking. White/Black - 3 (2x Hayward, Sacramento) White/Beige - 0...

Silver one just arrived in Sunnyvale. California MSRP is $31,490. As expected, this is $1500 more than the standard 3.6 kW charger.

I took a Monday morning stroll past Sunnyvale VW to see what they had as far as inventory, and saw this. Sucks that a car less than a year old took an accident, but good to see it absorbed a t-bone collision pretty well with damage only to the doors.
