Paint issue?

So, maybe I need to post this on a regular Golf forum, but during my last cleaning of my e-Golf, I used my fingernail to scratch a small, black spot (I thought it was some road tar). To my surprise, a fairly large chunk of paint just popped off (see photos). My 2019 e-Golf is still under warranty fo...

Re: Air conditioning seems too cold...

So, I drove somewhere with my wife in the passenger seat, which prompted her side to go from "Eco" to some temperature setting. This seemed to restore the set point temperature so that the AC no longer seems too cold. I guess it was a control/software glitch. So unlike VW to have a softwar...

Re: Air conditioning seems too cold...

Thanks for the good idea. I should do a spring cleaning of the interior anyway. :)

Air conditioning seems too cold...

Maybe this is all in my head, but as the warm weather returns (I live in Minnesota) and I am using my air conditioning, it seems too cold. When I set the cabin temp at 76, it feels decidedly cold. Even 78 seems too cool. Have issues been reported for the e-Golf and climate control/air conditioning? ...

How about an LFP weighing 12 lbs? You can be our product tester.... :D

Re: Replacing the 12 volt battery

Poking around a bit on the internet, I have found a lot of issues regarding reliability, low-temperature charging, and lifetime of these LFP-based 12V batteries. For example, Tesla owners replacing their older lead-acid batteries with these do not seem happy, though this may have more to do with how...

Re: Replacing the 12 volt battery

Is a lithium 12 V worth the expense when a lead acid battery will last 5 to 7 years? I observe that a name-brand 12V AGM H6 replacement battery costs between $200-$300. The Ohmmu LFP battery is currently listed at $432.10 (with shipping). According to the manufacturer, "The Ohmmu 12V LiFePO4 b...

Re: Replacing the 12 volt battery

I noticed that Tesla has replaced their lead-acid 12V battery with a Li-ion battery. I am wondering if this H5/Group 47 might work as a replacement for the e-Golf, https://www.ohmmu.com/product-page/12v-lithium-battery-for-audi-q8-e-tron ? It weighs just 12 lbs compared to about 42 lbs for the lead-...

Re: Hatch door stuck

Come on folks, to be clear, this is about lifting by logo. The fob isn't involved. The latch mechanism works only when the car is unlocked, so a weak battery in the key fob may prevent unlocking to occur when approaching a locked car. Hence, the latch doesn't catch. This happened to me. A new batte...
