Re: Does e-golf have to be coded to a new 12v battery?

I made it a few months and got tired of the "12v battery low" and other warnings. Since replacing the battery with a 70Ah AGM type, I did not get any coding done. So to stop the pesky messages I took it in to a used car dealer where I purchased it because their service dept said they could...

Re: Does e-golf have to be coded to a new 12v battery?

I am also going to say right now, for anyone reading this, NEVER jump start a car with your e-Golf. I don't mean this offensively, but it will seem that way to you, if you think it's OK to jump start a car with a e-golf then you shouldn't be giving people advice about e-golfs. You've essentially di...

Re: Hatch door stuck

Come on folks, to be clear, this is about lifting by logo. The fob isn't involved. So, why isn't this forum locating anyone else with this? I found others on youtube showing how to replace the electronic latch mechanism. But I don't know if I need one. I found by putting a rod into latch while hatch...

Hey I just thought of battery draining and this menu. Instead of SETUP, try looking in Energy Mgr. At top there's SETTINGS. In here, see if the box for CLIMATE...BATTERY is checked. I've seen this use 2 -3 kWh to heat in winter!

Re: Circular marks on the rear (hatch) window

Thanks snAKes, the video was really cool. I have been in an Intel factory, and for fear of copycats, they never allow any video to record the production processes. They call it intellectual property.

Hatch door stuck

I can hear the release mechanism work when lifting the VW logo . But door stays latched. This only happens when the sun has been shining directly onto the hatch door. :roll: Anyone have this and what's the dealer say is the fix? Just an adjustment, or high cost part and labor? I did figure out after...

Re: Oil Change Interval

And I thought I over analyze! Geeze, leave the oil in there and just keep up with the Bi-annual brake fluid changes. THAT matters, you don't want to have to be replacing brake components that fail due to water corrosion pitting the surfaces. Basically oil and coolant are lifetime, no scheduled chang...

Re: High-voltage discharge while car is not used

... You should probably lock the car in the future to be sure it goes into deep sleep. It would also be useful to get an OBD dongle to read the pack voltage. Probably good plan because I hear some kind of coolant pump running frequently just sitting in car without power ON How to learn about the OB...

Re: SPARE TIRE NOT!

I use Tire Rack and get great customer service ( and the right tires). so how does that work? they show 3 steps: select, order, ship does a non corporate shop work the best to have it installed? does the free road hazard really work? In my case I used a corporate shop and paid about $100 extra for ...

Re: "Dramatic" reduction in cold weather range. Why?

NOW I am lucky to squeeze out 160 km in moderate weather (around 0 - plus 3 degrees), at times even less, maybe 150 km I have just recently tried to experiment to see what the heater draws. So i made the Emgr heat cabin from 70F to 80F while plugged into a L2 charge point after the car had charged ...
