I looked in the bag 3 times and finally found it hidden under the top flap, lol. Definitely will do a complete write-up for this.

Re: Squeak coming from front end?

Well, of course, the next day the squeaking had completely disappeared and could not be reproduced. I would like to pop the wheels off this weekend and do a brake pad inspection, but does anyone know what screwy bit is used on these lug nuts? I assume these are proprietary and couldn't find any matc...

Re: Squeak coming from front end?

Also getting this on 2019 SEL starting a few months ago. Happens most frequently when turning on city streets, but I've noticed it can also happen when coasting straight over speed bumps as well with no regen braking, which makes me think it's more of a suspension issue vs. brakes.

HOV Sticker Placement & Front Assist False Positives

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 mid-February. I a...

Re: FS: 2016 e-Golf SE, 31k miles, lowered on good wheels/tires (NorCal)

We traded in our 2016 SE (no DCFC) back in February which had around 37k miles and only got $9500 trade-in from Sunnyvale. I'm sure it went to auction and got $12k easy. In hindsight I should have just sold on the open market but was on a time crunch due to the rebates. Ironically, both me and my wi...

Re: Last Chance Model Closeout

I'm always weary of the "1 available at this price" terms, especially from Sunnyvale. That being said, I'm sure they'll sell you one for $28k or $29k at worst.

Re: 105 Mile Commute

Perhaps I'm optimistic but I think the range would be adequate. The worse case range scenarios for a 2019 tend to be about 110 miles on a cold day for an SE, while the SELs will come in around 120 thanks to heat pump. I've noticed on the e-Golf, a/c doesn't kill the battery quite as bad as other EVs...

Re: 2016 eGolf Sunglass Tray replacement

No idea, but I can say with 99.9% certainty the sunglasses tray on the e-Golf is the same as any other Golf model. I'd try looking on any MK7 forums site as I'm sure you'll come across someone who's had this problem. This thread might be useful https://www.golfmkv.com/forums/index.php?threads/sungla...

Re: Disappointing driving experience in 2019 e-Golf SE

It's worth noting that with the e-Golf, the weight shifts to the rear of the car, which explains tire spin and "jumpiness" from the front. This is why electric cars really need to be designed from scratch (i.e. Tesla, BMW i3, and now the ID). The weight distribution difference means the wh...

Re: Cheapest 2019 E-Golf SEL Ever?!

So that's a sale price of just under $32k. Meh. Ours was just over $30 and that was good but not phenomenal. I still have the numbers from late 2016: SELs for zero down, $300/mo. Or even better: $2500 + $150/mo. Interest rates were below 2% thanks to Brexit. The SELs were so cheap it wasn't even wor...
