FWIW, my 2017 eGolf was just in the shop for the dreaded refrigerant shut-off valve issue. VCDS found 59079 and 59103, valves 1 and 4. In February, still under warranty, they replaced 2 of the 4. I asked them whether we should do all 4 or will I be back in a few months when they have failed? "N...

2017 eGolf, 70k Km I have driven my eGolf for 3 winters, this is winter #4. SAME everything, even same winter tires (getting worn, but still...). eGolf lives outside, under a car port, so the battery gets good and cold. The ONLY difference from the last winters is that I tend to drive off without ha...

2017 eGolf; Semi-regularly, when letting go of the accelerator, there is a soft "swooosh" sound emanating from the front (motor compartment?). No driveability issues, no codes. More common when accelerator was depressed for a few seconds, then let go, as opposed to rapid movement. Some sor...

15km (9 miles) left after a 70 mile trip...getting close! Temperature was -15/-16 C (3 degrees F) for most of the day.

Unfortunately, VW is not interested in offering CarNet in Canada. I do pre-heat the car while plugged into Level II at home.

2017/18 e-Golf Cooper winter tires Daily commute: 90 km round trip, rural highway at 90-95 km/h, then either city streets with typical stop-and-go or four lane highway at 100-120 km/h In "normal" mode and with driver side cabin heat on (because I hate driving with a winter jacket on and I ...

No issues in Ottawa last winter since February when I got the e-Golf. We had a few formidable cold nights.

Yeah I'm just going to use my work charger and see how it goes. I would get to charge there for free, and it's 10km from my place. In Ontario, we've also lost the incentive in purchasing and installing an EV charger - so I'll be taking my time getting one and seeing how I make do. Pre-heating (or-c...

To each his own. Fact is, if you don't buy by September, the business case for an EV will look a whole lot different in Ontario. You can get over that with a buck a beer, so everything will be fine. Nice to see they have the ir priorities straight. Yes, EV technology keeps evolving. Like computers. ...

I am in Ottawa as well and picked up my e-Golf in February, so I got a few weeks of truly cold winter weather experience. - the range is shorter (normal) to the tune of about 160-180 km on the Guess-O-meter - no issues with starting, driving, heating or any other systems - the charging process itsel...
