Sonnen VW in San Rafael has fixed it for me twice - once on a 2015 and again more recently on a 2017. Doing it on the 2015 was a learning experience for them, but I provided the specific TSB and wording that others shared in this forum & they figured it out. One thing of note - the settings...

Those are the same measurements on my spare as well.

Hopefully you will find, as I did, that the preventative benefit of having the spare tire is worth the time and money spent....my car hasn't had a single flat since installing everything just over a year ago!

Well, it looks like VW has done the impossible and made the Car-Net app even worse! First, after installing the update I was required to enter my email address and Car-Net website password, plus the 4-digit PIN. Not sure if that was a one-time thing or if it will all be required regularly...

I had a similar problem a couple months back and was able to determine that it was a mechanical issue with the locking pin getting stuck in the retracted position. Pushing on the pin with the tip of a screwdriver freed it up so that it was able to extend out again. I figured it would happen...

Nope, VW is still saying that they're "working on a fix". Of course they've been saying that for at least a year or more....

I've been going back and forth with Car-Net and VW since the app update last week, first about login issues and then about the "Remote" features being taken away. Every rep I've spoken with has told me something slightly different. Currently, Car-Net is saying that I am supposed to have 3...

The 2015 manual says you should ideally charge the battery to 40%-60% before leaving the car parked and unused for a longer period of time. It also specifically says to never park the car for 21 days or more with a charge level below 3%. I've also read that it is harmful to battery life to...

Here a link to the 2016 service schedule that someone posted earlier. The one I have for the 2015 looks the same, at least for the first few services. http://www.myvwegolf.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=805 The only items that are specific to an EV are visual inspections . . . except of...

Thank you all for your input. I contacted VW CARE yesterday and after being placed on hold for 5-10 minutes, the rep I spoke with (Chastity) confirmed that having the scheduled maintenance services performed by a non-VW mechanic will not void the warranty. If someone who is not certified...

We're just hitting 20k miles on our 2015 e-Golf, and wondering if anyone else has considered using a mechanic other than a VW Dealer for the regular maintenance services? Aside from tire rotation and a few other minor tasks, the service items for 20k and 30k are all visual inspections...

Agreed - if you can find some of the equipment used, especially the spare itself, it'll cost a lot less. That was my plan to start, but none of the wreckers or junkyards within an hour of me had any late-model Golfs or A3s to scavenge from, and the donut spares on eBay would have cost about the...

For those of you who are lamenting the lack of a spare tire in your car: it is possible to put together a legit spare tire kit (like Golf owners in Europe get) that fits perfectly in the e-Golf! Most of the parts can be purchased from your local VW dealer or online from Deutsche Auto Parts...

I think it depends on the iPhone case. My wife and I have cases from different manufacturers for our 5's and the vw-supplied cable works fine with both phones/cases. I recall reading that someone got VW to send them a cable since they only received the older cable from the dealer & the car was...

I observed the same random changes to the set time when I attempted to use the delayed charging feature. Another WTF issue with Car-Net. Charging never initiated as scheduled after the first night, so I stopped trying to use the feature anyway.
