UPDATE to my November post. Applecare did not know why, but my ver 14 stopped working. So by updating to ver 15 it fixed problem! That's not the first experience where apple OS & iOS versions build-in a self obsolete time point where something just stops working.

I love this guy. That is how the emgr works and the outside buttons. It's much easier to understand you than the manual, many flipping thru pages!!

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 to...

I don't know why you know it's bad. Can you explain? I do agree that high amperage being drawn is never going to happen while being a eGolf battery. But does drawing that high current to jump start another's car really matter? I also own a used 2017 like f1geek, with what looks like original...

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...

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!

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.

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...

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...

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 OBD reader? Is it obvious on menu of choices how to find SOC or HV volts?

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 hazard insure for a $600 set of [treadwear score 700] Yokohamas...

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 fully. The charge point indicated 1.3kW demand. So if the resistance heater is rated to much more, I was not...

I think the battery won't be used if you un-check the box in Emgr>Settings>use battery for climate

Dealer said something about the drain doesn't end at a hose to the outside. I forget the specifics, but that it drains onto that thick felt mat covering bottom of car, so there won't be any dripping. Sounds weird but whatever.

It's great we are trying to use real world testing. However I wish you would have indicated if climate control was constant every time and what speed? And for the rest of our dear viewers, I think Mpulsiv means mi/kWh with his numbers. But good job in experimenting!
