Re: Replacing the 12 volt battery

Sure. I’ll wait for someone to purchase an LFP 12 V battery for me. 😁 I wouldn't put a LiFePo battery in the place of any lead-acid battery. LFP batteries are full at 12.8vdc while lead-acid is full at 12.6vdc. As sensitive as VW electronics seem to be, I wouldn't risk it. Also, the LFP batteries I...

Re: Replacing the 12 volt battery

Re: Using a power inverter with the e-Golf

Seems to me that electric cars would have a much smaller battery than ICEs because they don't have to crank an engine over to get it started. Their only purpose would be to run accessories and "turn on the power" to start the motor. That said, I can't imagine it would last very long in be...

Re: Oil Change Interval

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I've also been wondering about this. I looked more closely yesterday and found the fill plug on the left side of the transaxle just forward of the CV axle and slightly lower. The drain plug is on the bottom on the forward-left side. If I had to guess, the drain and...

Fin Antenna Elements

Hello all, I'm posting to add a piece of data to the knowledge bank. I'm sure someone with a schematic could figure this out, but here goes: 2016 E-golf SE US spec. (no navigation) Bottom line up front: Blue connector on rooftop fin antenna is GPS signal to set time. I've seen discussion regarding t...
