    HOV expiration Southern California

    I also have the 2016 but leased it on Jan 2017. Just received my red one last week. I'm still trying to get used to the red on my silver e-Golf. :D

    Driving in B mode often can cause issues?

    Yes they fixed it under warranty. @whyeGolf I just started leasing the car January 2017. This was basically the first time VW serviced the car. The technician cleaned both the rotors and the pads. I dont remember ever slamming on the breaks that hard. My daily route to work is mostly back...

    Driving in B mode often can cause issues?

    ^^^ Tha's what I thought. But i guess if you don't use the foot brake often, dust will just stay there and bake. The technician told me that this happens a lot with hybrid/electric cars because you tend to rely on engine braking more than foot brakes. He suggested to once in a while, put the...

    Driving in B mode often can cause issues?

    I wanted to quickly share this in case someone is going through the same issue. I started leasing the e-Golf in the beginning of the year. It’s perfect for me. Work is about 15 miles away and we have free charging at work. 6 months later, I started noticing a screeching noise when I accelerate...

    20K Maintenance

    Free? Really? Anyone else have the same experience? I turned down the dealer when they offered me their "discounted" maintenance pricing. If I remember correctly, it was an additional $15+ to my monthly. (36 month lease)...

    Hiding wires for Dashboard Camera and or GPS

    I recently purchased a dashcam for my e-Golf. The install came out okay. The part where the wire crosses the pillar is exposed. I may be able to force it in with a pry tool but I'm a little hesitant. The rest are tucked in the weather stripping. YI DASH CAM...

    HOV sticker placement - photos please!

    Finally received my HOV decal yesterday. Sent the application early Feb so it took almost a month. I used a bumper sticker protector so I can easily remove or reposition when needed. I decided to tuck the big decals just like Verkehr. I placed the smaller one right next to the license plate...

    Does anyone else's reverse camera stink?

    Mine doesn't work sometimes "Parkpilot not available".. I would say it happened 4-5pm times in the past 2 months. Not sure what's triggering it.

    Just purchased a 2015 SEL...I think it was a good deal?

    Wow. So after all the incentives, it's really around 11k? :shock:

    2016 SE with DCFC

    So my previous car (09 Nissan Versa 100k mi) was quickly turning into a headache. I sort of rushed this deal. Repairing it would have cost more than it's current value. Hopefully I did okay. Volkswagen of Van Nuys in SoCal - 36 month lease - $1500 out the door, incl 1st month lease (Value of...

    Swirl scratches on B pillars

    One month into my lease and I'm already seeing swirl scratches. May have happened when the dealer detailed it before handing the car over to me. I sure as hell didn't notice it at the time. Anyone else experiencing this? The material seems to be plastic with gloss. Will some wax help? I don't...

    HOV sticker placement - photos please!

    But... But... Where are the photos though? :D Still waiting for mine. Although I may end up stashing the decals for now. If anything, maybe just sticking the small decal next to the plate will suffice. Current work travel is from the Valley to Beverly Hills. The crazy thing is, It will...
